Adult Learning Planning Tool
The Adult Learning Planning Tool is for use by higher education faculty and professional development providers when planning and implementing a topic/content/practice. These seven evidence-based adult learning practices are derived from a meta-synthesis of 15 research reviews of professional development which included 550 studies and 50,000 teachers and practitioners (Dunst, et al., 2015).
Crosswalks
Crosswalks identify similarities and differences between two different systems to support understanding, decision-making, planning, and other applications; a bridging technique.

ECIPC Curriculum Planning Tools
The intended use of the ECIPC Curriculum Planning Tool is to provide higher education faculty with guidance to develop initial Early Intervention/Early Childhood Special Education (EI/ECSE) programs and blended Early Childhood Education (ECE) and ECSE programs aligned with personnel preparation standards and recommended practices to ensure they are embedded within the curriculum.
The development of the ECIPC curriculum planning tool was driven by the EI/ECSE Practice-based Professional Preparation Standards aligned with the DEC Recommended Practices (RPs) (2014). You will find each EI/ECSE Standard as a separate tab on the tool. This is a downloadable excel file and should be personalized to meet the needs of your EI/ECSE or blended ECE/ECSE program. The tabs represent Standards in early childhood special education and are not intended to represent single courses within an EI/ECSE program.
