EarlyEdU Crosswalk

The purpose of the CAP/EarlyEdu Crosswalk Project is to support California faculty in accessing the resources available through EarlyEdU that can be used to enhance instruction and enrich student experiences and outcomes.

First 5 California (F5CA) funded the Child Development Training Consortium (CDTC) and the Curriculum Alignment Project (CAP) Team to create a crosswalk between the Child Development (CD)/Early Childhood Education (ECE) CAP aligned course content and the EarlyEdU courses available for free with EarlyEdU Alliance® membership.

Access to the EarlyEdU materials will require an individual or institutional membership in the EarlyEdU Alliance®. More information can be found on the EarlyEdU Alliance® website https://www.earlyedualliance.org/. Membership is free and includes many valuable benefits beyond access to the materials.  

Since the completion of this project in 2018, both EarlyEdU and CAP have revised their materials. The crosswalk serves as a framework for considering how EarlyEdU’s content could be used as resources.
