EUREKA!! Discovering Your Data Treasure Trove in Teaching Strategies GOLD.
About this session
Why do we use Teaching Strategies GOLD to assess young learners? What information does it give us and how can we then use it to make learning more powerful for our students? This session will explore the developmental trajectories of our youngest learners, how and why we document their development, what we do with the information that we gain from observational data, and finally what learning we are laying the foundation for in the future. As a bonus, there may even be some tips and tricks on how to make collecting observation notes a bit easier!
