The Creative Curriculum® for Preschool
Teaching Children to Be Creative, Confident Thinkers 2012–2013 Catalog ▲ At Teaching Strategies, our mission is to provide quality support for the important work you do every day. Over the years, we have demonstrated our commitment to innovation by consistently expanding our offerings and engaging with educators to implement best practices. Today, with technology playing a significant role in our daily lives, we too are “going digital.” I’m pleased to introduce you to some of the exciting ways Teaching Strategies is using technology to offer you innovative new forms of support. This school year, we will launch a free documentation app for Teaching Strategies GOLD® online. This exciting new app will enable users to easily capture documentation in the moment, using an iPhone, iPad, or iTouch. Our new app truly represents technology at its best—a way of saving teachers valuable time without compromising security, quality, or accuracy. We’ve also greatly expanded our online offerings to provide you with anywhere, anytime access to valuable support and information. The all-new Teaching Strategies blog, written by author and early childhood expert Kai-leé Berke, offers a place to find ideas, inspiration, and information on early childhood education. We hope you’ll take a look at TeachingStrategies.com/blog. We’ve also recently launched the Teaching Strategies Community, a virtual learning environment where early childhood educators can engage in a wide range of online discussions. The Community offers another way to connect and collaborate with peers and Teaching Strategies authors, no matter where you’re located. Finally, our newly redesigned Web site features simple, userfriendly navigational tools and a wealth of information, including product overviews, research, alignments, and author information. Please visit us at TeachingStrategies.com. From all of us at Teaching Strategies, we wish you a very fulfilling year—one that is greatly enhanced by the innovations available in this exciting digital age!
