Items

The Early Learning Scale examines two items within the
Social-Emotional/Social Studies domain.

For each item, you will learn about the strands and indicators along the developmental trajectory.

You will learn content knowledge in each item and view examples of observable behaviors, work samples and anecdotes.

You will also have the opportunity to identify high-quality anecdotes and practice scoring data for the ELS in this domain.

Be sure to explore each item fully before moving on.
