Understand Each Child's Needs Based on Developmentally Appropriate Milestones

The assessment model used in GOLD follows widely held expectations for children from birth through third grade and enables a whole-child approach to assessment. Color-coded progressions guide teachers toward selecting and adapting activities that support each child's development and learning, including those with disabilities. Meaningful reports inform classroom practices and individualized instruction.
View Our 38 Objectives

GOLD helps us to also look at each child as a whole. We really like the reports. They are parent-friendly and make it easy to show where their child is and where we want to see them by the end of year. GOLD is very easy to use and doesn't take a ton of time.
