We are excited to partner with early childhood educators across Colorado, to build a high-quality continuum of learning that supports the unique needs of all children and lays the essential foundation for their success in school and in life.
Teaching Strategies, a trusted partner of early childhood educators around the world for nearly 30 years, supports Colorado’s statewide P-3 initiative. With resources based on the most current research about early childhood education, educators can feel confident that they will have as much support as they need to help children develop and learn.
All solutions from Teaching Strategies are grounded in our 38 research-based objectives for development and learning. These objectives offer educators a complete picture of the knowledge, skills, and abilities they are helping each child acquire, across a progression of learning and development from birth through third grade, in every area that’s critical to children’s future success.
With the brand-new SmartTeach platform, all of Teaching Strategies’ digital solutions are accessible from a single location. It enables educators to easily interact with the essential pieces of high-quality teaching practice—teaching and assessing, reporting, ongoing professional development, and family engagement.
