Curriculum Alignment Project (CAP)
The California Early Childhood Curriculum Alignment Project through the Child Development Training Consortium supports transfer and curriculum consistency in the foundational preparation of early childhood education students. CAP has engaged faculty from across the state to develop a lower-division program of study supporting early care and education teacher preparation. The Lower Division 8 represents evidence-based courses that are intended to become a foundational core for all early care and education professionals. In more recent years, alignment of additional courses has been implemented in select colleges.
Offering a consistent educational core throughout California’s Community College EC/CD Programs will better prepare students with the skills and abilities that best support the success of young children.

Faculty Initiative Project (sunsetted)
The purpose of the CDE/ECE Faculty Initiative Project’s instructional guide for the California Preschool Curriculum Framework (PCF) was to support faculty as they deepen their students’ familiarity with the content of the publication and provide students with understanding and practice in how to use the PCF, as a resource in planning curriculum and reflecting on intentional curriculum decisions.
