Teaching Strategies Earns National EdTech Award for Innovative Pre-K Curriculum Integrating Play and Learning

Teaching Strategies Takes the Lead in Early Childhood Education

Teaching Strategies, a leader in early childhood curriculum development, has recently been honored with the EdTech Cool Tool Award for their innovative program, The Creative Curriculum® for Pre-K. This accolade highlights the company's commitment to enhancing early education through effective learning tools.

The Creative Curriculum for Pre-K is designed specifically for young learners in the critical year before kindergarten. It employs a whole-child approach that combines hands-on, play-based studies with focused instruction in reading and math. This method is not only developmentally appropriate but also rooted in decades of research and insights gathered from over 45 years of experience in early childhood education.

Celia Stokes, president of product at Teaching Strategies, expressed excitement about the recognition. "It's an honor to be acknowledged by EdTech Digest for our leadership in the sector and our ongoing commitment to providing innovative solutions for children, educators, and families," she stated.

Stokes emphasized the importance of building a strong foundation for students, especially in light of new national data indicating that many students are performing below pre-pandemic levels in essential literacy and math skills. She noted that their curriculum is designed to effectively prepare children for academic success.

In addition to winning the top award in the curriculum category, Teaching Strategies was also named a finalist in several others, including testing and assessment, professional development, and literacy. Products that received recognition include the Early Literacy Certification Foundations of the Science of Reading™, the GOLD® observational assessment, and both The Creative Curriculum® for Infants and Toddlers.

The EdTech Awards, established in 2010, celebrates the most influential figures and products in the education technology landscape. This year, the winners were selected based on criteria such as pedagogical effectiveness, support, clarity, value, and potential impact on the learning experience.

Victor Rivero, Editor-in-Chief of EdTech Digest, congratulated all finalists and winners, stating that the advancements being made in education technology will significantly influence the future of learning. He remarked, "If there's one field ready to embrace and lead through change, it's this one."
