In the May 2007 issue of the journal Young Children, Lilian Katz has written an article on the topic of standards in early childhood education. She presents the case for providing experiences for children that support them in their quest for understanding. This is in contrast with the idea of delivering educational end products or outcomes. She cites as examples of standards of experience for the child: to be intellectually engaged and absorbed, to be intellectually challenged, to be involved in sustained inverstigations, to have confidence in their questions, to feel that they belong to a group of their peers, among several others. Lilian Katz also invites educators to add to the list for themselves.
