How Does It Work?
Check out our FYBS crosswalk series. Our team has mapped alignment between FYBS and various social-emotional frameworks. The crosswalks can be helpful guides to understanding similarities and differences in content. Information can assist with analysis of what is and is not covered in instructional activities and curricula and could be useful in planning how to integrate FYBS within current initiatives.
