Frog Street’s New Innovative Pre-K Curriculum Addresses the Needs of All Students

Next Generation Curriculum Receives Perfect Score in Third Party Review

(Dallas, TX) February 10, 2021 — Frog Street’s next generation dual language curriculum, Pre-K 2020, is designed to meet the academic and social-emotional developmental needs of all students, regardless of their background or learning level. Frog Street Pre-K 2020 is a comprehensive curriculum that includes support materials, from manipulatives to assessment, to ensure successful implementation of high-quality instruction.

Given its exclusive partnership with Conscious Discipline®, a social-emotional program, SEL strategies are integrated throughout the curriculum. Frog Street Pre-K 2020 also includes cultural responsiveness strategies to help teachers communicate an anti-bias mindset.

“Our teachers love Frog Street Pre-K 2020 because it is so well organized and easy to use,” stated Jackeline Vasquez, Supervisor of Preschool Programs at Castaic Unified School District in Valencia, California. “Our favorite part of the Frog Street curriculum is their integration of Conscious Discipline® to help students with their social-emotional development, which is critical to students being successful in school and in life.”

As part of the recent process whereby Frog Street Pre-K 2020 was approved for the Texas Proclamation 2021 Pre-K Kindergarten Adoption, the curriculum received perfect scores in each of the 11 categories examined as part of a third party review commissioned by the Texas Education Agency, providing clear evidence that the curriculum is both comprehensive and developmentally appropriate.
