  • Teaching Strategies GOLD is the official assessment of the infant classroom.
  • Gold focuses on 38 research based objectives for development and learning. Gold Allows teachers to collect evidence through observation, portfolios, partnering with parents, and interactions to identify where a child is at in their development and where they are going. Teachers are able to individualize learning for the children in their care and use this information to plan an environment and activities to help in the development of the whole child. All student data will be entered on to Gold online in the fall, winter, and spring.
