Important Changes for VPK AP3 2016
All VPK providers are required to complete the VPK Teaching Strategies GOLD assessment in addition to
the VPK (flip book) assessment. 
 

GOLD assessors will need to complete the GOLD Basic Course BEFORE assessing children with the VPK GOLD assessment.   The GOLD Basic Course is a 12 hour training that can be completed online or in a classroom format.  If the course is completed online, the assessor will be able to print a Training Certificate after completing the course.  If the course is completed in a classroom format, the course will appear on the assessor's DCF transcript. 
 
Once the course is completed, the certificate/transcript must be emailed or faxed to the Coalition to comply with the training requirement If you haven't already submitted your VPK Basic Course certificate/transcript to the Coalition, please email it to cterrazas@elcpinellas.net or fax to 727-400-4485 by February 15, 2016.
 
Assessors who have completed the GOLD Basic Course and emailed their certificate/transcript to the Coalition can begin collecting GOLD documentation for AP3 on February 15, 2016.
