For the 2022-2023 school year

The Alabama Department of Early Childhood Education has a nightly integration with MyTeachingStrategies®, which links to the department's student information system. This will automatically populate your account, your class and children. After you receive notification from your First-Class Pre-K coach that classes and children have loaded for the school year, you may access your account. This typically happens in early August.

IMPORTANT to note once you have successfully accessed your MyTeachingStrategies® account:

Your classes and children will be uploaded into MyTeachingStrategies® for you

Please DO NOT add, edit or delete any classes or children in the system

Region Directors send new teachers a link to the Personnel Profile Form (PPF). A username will be created 24-48 hours after submitting the PPF. After the 24-48 hour timeframe, enter the username format in the MyTeachingStrategies® log-in field. Select Forgot Password. A temporary password will be sent to the email address you provided on the PPF.

To access the site correctly, the required standard username format must be used.

Username format: firstname.lastnameMBdbORG

(Example Username: jane.doe0403pk )

MB is month of birth; db is day of birth; ORG for Pre-K is pk

If the PPF has been filled out prior to the school year, teachers do not need to attempt to access their account until they have received information from their First Class Pre-K coach.

IRR completion is expected within 30 days after the 12-hour MyTeachingStrategies®/GOLD® platform professional development session has concluded. If teachers do not have access to their own accounts at the time of training, then the expectation is within 30 days from gaining account access.

Alabama First-Class Pre-K teachers should complete the Preschool, including dual language learners and children with disabilities IRR Certification.

Alabama First-Class Pre-K suggests that most objectives need at least two pieces of quality documentation for an accurate assessment rating at checkpoint. Your First-Class Pre-K coach can give further guidance and support as some objectives may need more (or less) documentation, to help support the instructional process for student outcomes.

After the session completes, ADECE will give credit in PowerSchool based on attendance.

The PowerSchool link is provided in the emails received from Eventbrite.

Public school teachers should contact their LEA for PowerSchool access.

Non-public schoolteachers should contact their Region Director.
