Competencies & Standards

Vermont’s Unified Core Knowledge Areas provide shared language that works across multiple sets of professional standards. They were created using:

  • InTASC Core Teaching Standards,
  • Early Intervention/Early Childhood Special Education Standards,
  • NAEYC Professional Standards and Competencies for Early Childhood Educators, and
  • NAA Core Knowledge, Skills, and Competencies for Afterschool and Youth Development Professionals.
