  8. Shared Standards Promote Continuityfrom: Transitions for Young Children: Creating Connections Across Early Childhood Systems(Kagan, Tate) Standards are an essential element of a transition policy framework because they describe what children should learn in each setting. Establishing standards requires deep thinking about the nature of what children experience as they move from one setting to another. Alignment of expectations across age/grade levels promotes continuity in what children learn at different ages and facilitates effective transitions. Misalignment of standards contributes to discontinuity between settings. 8
