The ELM Curriculum has been implemented throughout the United States Air Force Child Development Program System.
The Ben and Maxine Miller Laboratory School in the Department of Human Development and Family Studies at Purdue University serves as an ELM demonstration site under the direction of Elizabeth Schlesinger-Devlin. The lab school initiated the ELM curriculum in the three preschool classrooms in August 2019, and later introduced ELM to the infant/toddler classes in January 2020. The implementation of ELM in the laboratory school has provided opportunities for collaboration, instruction, and continuity with pre-service teachers, undergraduate practicum students, faculty, staff, families, and children.
