Parents, we want to keep you up to date on your child’s social and developmental milestones as well as their academic progress. Our teachers provide you with reports during our one-one Parent Teacher Conferences which happen twice a year. A child’s progress is measured against the 38 objectives and milestones for early development backed by Teaching Strategies.

Our assessment tool, GOLD by Teaching Strategies is research-based, validated, and shown to be effective by extensive independent research. With GOLD, assessment is an authentic part of instruction, not a disruption as it is embedded in everyday interactions with children in the classroom.

~~Formative assessment is an effortless, organic part of our teaching day. The teacher can easily capture, organize, and store notes, photos, videos, and digital samples of children’s work in the moment to make observations authentic, objective, and easy to remember

~~The assessment model used in GOLD follows widely held expectations for children from birth through third grade and enables a whole-child approach to assessment.

~~Color-coded progressions guide teachers toward selecting and adapting activities that support each child’s development and learning, including those with disabilities.

~~ The teacher can understand each child’s needs based on preset developmentally appropriate milestones. Meaningful reports inform classroom practices and individualized instruction.

~~ GOLD connects the Dots between Curriculum and Assessment. It automatically connects assessment data and observation capabilities with daily instructional resources, creating an instantaneous and ongoing feedback loop of information to individualize learning and empower teachers to capture observations in the moment.
