Teaching Strategies Gold for VPK

 

The GOLD? Basic Course is now available for individuals who were active in the Bright Beginnings Online Reporting System (ORS) as of mid-March. OEL is currently working on a plan for any VPK staff  who were not in the Bright Beginnings ORS as of mid-March. When using the Bright Beginnings ORS, please note that emails received by providers are intended for specific teacher(s) listed in Bright Beginnings. This means that only that teacher should use the link to attend the training since the Certificate of Completion will only print for the intended recipient.   

 

Please reference each teacher's User ID on the Bright Beginnings website to ensure that the correct teacher uses the training link provided in the email. In the event that someone takes the training and the Certificate of Completion prints for someone else, please use the contact information in the email for Teaching Strategies Gold assistance.

 

Teaching Strategies recently sent out an email ("Welcome Letter") to each individual, based on email addresses in the ORS. The Welcome Letter includes the individual's login information. It also indicates how to access the GOLD? Basic Course and access the "Sandbox." As described in the letter, the Sandbox allows an individual to practice using all the features of  GOLD?  without the worry of making a mistake. The Welcome Letter also includes helpful information, such as the link to the Support and Resource Library and the number and email address for technical support.

 

Please take a moment to read the VPK Pre- and Post-Assessment in 2015-16 flyer & At-AGlance document. You can also find out more information about  GOLD? by visiting OEL's VPK Pre- and Post-Assessments webpage at www.floridaearlylearning.com/providers/provider_menu/vpk_assessment.aspx
