(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.
