Organized into three separate volumes around children’s chronological and/or developmental ages, the AEPS-3 Curriculum is linked directly to the Test and helps teams determine learning outcomes and teaching/intervention activities for young children, based on AEPS-3 assessment results.

The curriculum covers the major developmental and early academic areas: Fine Motor, Gross Motor, Adaptive, Social-Emotional, Social-Communication, Cognitive, Literacy, and Math. AEPS-3 Test items can be fully integrated into AEPS-3 Curriculum routines and activities because test items are written as broad generic targets, with each skill relevant for successful performance within multiple routines and activities.

The curriculum is divided into three universally recognized skill levels, with tiered teaching suggestions fully integrated into regularly occurring early childhood routines and activities (see a list of the 18 routines and activities). Most young children can receive effective teaching/intervention while participating in ongoing interactions and activities. Every routine outlines best practices at home and in classrooms for all children, strategies for providing extra help when needed, and individualized suggestions for infants and young children who need specially designed, intensive teaching/intervention and support.

You can learn more about the curriculum and the routines and activities through the Curriculum Guides, Volumes 3-5. Volume 3 is the Beginning Curriculum, Volume 4 is the Growing Curriculum, and Volume  is the Ready Curriculum.
