Thank you for your interest in the two day MDE-sponsored GOLD assessment training on June 27 & 28, 2019 at the Northside Achievement Zone in Minneapolis, MN. Please complete all information below. Spots are reserved on a first come first serve basis. There are 30 seats available for this training.
The GOLD is an authentic observation-based assessment system for children from birth through third grade. The system may be implemented with any developmentally appropriate curriculum. Importantly, the GOLD is a Kindergarten Entry Profile (KEP) approved assessment. KEP-approved assessments align to and cover the 2017 Early Childhood Indicators of Progress (ECIPs) and kindergarten academic standards. The GOLD can be used across multiple programs, settings, ages and grades (e.g., kindergarten, voluntary pre-kindergarten, school readiness, school readiness plus, preschool, early childhood special education, Head Start and child care programs - including 3 and 4 star Parent Aware rated programs). The information this assessment produces helps teachers, administrators and families understand what students know and are able to do in order to support children’s learning and development while also guiding continuous program improvement efforts.
Please make sure you enter the email address of the attending individual, as updates/information will only be sent to emails entered into the survey (if you are an administrator registering your staff, please enter their email address - not yours).
This training is free (no cost to you). 6 CEUs will be awarded for full attendance on the first day of training and 6 CEUs will be available for the 2nd day of training.
