About Teaching Strategies GOLD
Teaching Strategies GOLDTM is a brand-new, ongoing observational assessment tool--based upon years of feedback from thousands of educators and important new research about how children develop and learn.

GOLDTM is an assessment system that helps teachers be intentional in their teaching by accurately pinpointing where children are in their development and learning. It's a teacher-friendly, easy-to-understand approach to observation, documentation, portfolio-building, and reporting--the essential components of a high-quality assessment system.
