This workshop will focus on practical strategies for understanding and using the VELS to plan learning experiences that are purposeful, playful, developmentally appropriate. We will also explore the alignment between the VELS and Teaching Strategies Gold (TSG), VT’s early childhood recommended assessment tool.

Participants will:

  • Increase understanding of the VELS and their use in designing intentional,  developmentally appropriate activities that engage learners across content areas
  • Explore different curriculum and lesson planning tools that can be used to develop VELS-aligned instruction and assessment.  
  • Increase knowledge of the TSG formative assessment cycle
  • Practice recognizing opportunities to increase standards-based planning and teaching in the context of daily routines and play-based experiences.
