Teaching Strategies GOLD Assesment Training with Kaplan coming to Ann Arbor!

August 29-30, 2011


In this 2-day session, teachers will be introduced to the components and structure of Teaching Strategies GOLD™. Through video clips, activities, and large-group discussions, teachers will explore the progressions of development and learning for children from birth through kindergarten, learn how to interpret the corresponding color bands, and apply the GOLD™ objectives to their observation-based assessments. They will practice using the four-step assessment cycle, evaluating a child’s portfolio, and developing a conference form to share with families. By the end of the session, teachers will have the basic skills they need to begin implementing the Teaching Strategies GOLD™ Assessment Toolkit.

Training will be held at the University Of Michigan Northwood Community Center
1000 McIntyre Drive, Ann Arbor, MI 48109

Registration Fee: $199.95
