Most of our preschool programs have been implementing Creative Curriculum and are moving from the Developmental Continuum Assessment tool to the new GOLD assessment tool. The GOLD assessment tool can be used with children Birth through Kindergarten.
It is important that our department is familiar with the tool, the developmental expectations and the new objectives in the literacy, math,science and technology, social studies and the art area. The information may assist teams in the writing of IEP goals and/or IFSP outcomes.
The GOLD assessment data is likely the data that a teacher will present to you as you review the records as part of the 'suspect disability' process.
Therefore, I'd encourage you to attend the upcoming training that Becky Coffelt and I will present on Monday, March 7 from 1:00 -3:30 in Pocahontas. The training is open to preschool teachers and administrators as well.
