Importance of having standards when working with young children
Young children are prepared for life through education. Institutions should set or develop standards to regulate the process and set clear expectations as well as procedures. Up-to-date standards that are aligned to current business and market trends enable the institutions to create whole learners. Such learners are well-equipped to manage life tactically and survive the challenges that they encounter. The set standards guide instructors on ways to manage learners while preparing them to act independently in the future. Therefore, the instructors operate from the point of knowledge due to the presence of various standards. In addition, standards eliminate ambiguity and confusion in the process of instruction. Even if learners go through different instructors, the process variations are not extreme and tend to attain comparable results. Standards also provide some sort of measurement technique or criteria that instructors and institutions can utilize to gauge their performance (Georgia Department of Education).
