​What Is GOLD®?

GOLD® is an authentic, ongoing, observation-based assessment system that helps our teachers and administrators focus on what matters most for your children’s success. Grounded in Teaching Strategies’s 38 research-based objectives for development and learning, GOLD® supports effective teaching and assessment, while providing teachers with more time to spend with the children in their program. Accessed through MyTeachingStrategies™, GOLD® automatically links teaching and assessment, making it easier to connect the dots across the most important aspects of high-quality early childhood education.

​

With GOLD®, teachers can:

• Use a variety of online tools to gather and organize meaningful data quickly, including online portfolios where children’s work can be stored;

• Create a developmental profile of each child to answer the questions, "What does this child know? What is he or she able to do?" that can be used to scaffold each child’s learning; and

• Generate comprehensive reports that can be customized easily and shared with family members and other stakeholders.

• Customizable lesson plans tied to The Creative Curriculum® for Preschool that populate your personal calendars in a few clicks
