We’ve heard great feedback from teachers who have switched from the GOLD Documentation app to the Teaching Strategies Teacher app. Teachers love how the Teaching Strategies Teacher app streamlines daily tasks, documentation, and family communications.
If teachers in your program haven’t made the switch yet, they need to know three things:
-
They are missing out on good things! The Teaching Strategies Teacher app does much more than the GOLD Documentation app, in addition to greatly improving the capture and rating of documentation.
-
If teachers want to continue using the GOLD Documentation app for the remainder of the school year, they must update to the latest version before May 1. Any documentation recorded after May 1 in an older version of the GOLD Documentation app will NOT be saved.
-
We will keep the old GOLD Documentation app available through the end of this school year but will be officially retiring it on June 28.
What are your next steps?

Strongly encourage teachers to download the Teaching Strategies Teacher app from the Google Play Store and Apple App store.
