How to View Your Child’s Portfolio Online

We are very excited to invite you to participate in our program by communicating with us through Teaching Strategies Gold online! Accurate assessment of your child’s development and learning is an essential part of our program because it enables us to plan meaningful activities that match his or her strengths, needs and interest. To accomplish that, our program uses the online version of Teaching Strategies Gold, an exciting assessment, reporting and planning system. It helps us collaborate with you as we follow your child’s progress and plan our program. 

The Teaching Strategies GOLD family site makes it easy to communicate with you about your child’s ongoing development and our classroom activities. We hope you will use the family resources available on this online system. There is no fee for you to use them. Part of your registration fee supports the purchase of your child’s initial seat; monthly billing is covered by the GCDC. Through the family site, you will be able to use:

  • Messaging system to keep in touch with us and stay up to date about what your child is doing at school.
  • View the documentation we enter to show what your child knows and can do. That includes, photos, scanned artwork, and other electronic samples of his or her work and play at school. You can also share your documentation with us by entering it into the system!
  • View reports about your child’s development and learning. The “Development and Learning Report” shows your child’s current knowledge and skills and what his or her next developmental steps are likely to be. Based on your child’s current levels of development, the report also recommends fun activities that are related to our curriculum so that you can support your child’s learning at home.
  • Prepare for family-teacher conferences by viewing the “Family Conference Form” we fill out for your child. During the conference, we will use the information on the form to begin our conversation and together plan ways to support your child’s continued development
