Pre-K students, specifically 4 year olds, come to school with a wide and diverse range of academic skills, social emotional competencies, and behavioral needs.
Working alongside your Pre-K educators, Cooke Institute consultants collaborate with you to identify and develop what each young child is able to do, and advance those skills in developmentally appropriate ways.
Cooke supports your Pre-K program to build the capacity to implement proactive strategies and interventions to ensure your youngest learners have the most successful academic and social experience in school and beyond. Consultant services are customizable to fit your specific needs.
Some offerings include:
• Applying best pedagogical practices to design and organize classrooms to improve teaching and learning aligned to ECERs and the Pre-K Foundation for the Common Core.
• Implementing engaging and developmentally appropriate practice and differentiated instruction aligned to the PKFCC.
• Increasing understanding of what is typical and atypical early childhood development and support with implementing strategies, interventions and accommodations for students with identified and unidentified special and unique needs.
• Utilizing the CLASS assessment tool, increasing positive interactions in Pre-K classrooms among teacher – teacher, teacher – student, and student – student.
• Increasing data-driven decision making by using data gathered by NYC DOE approved authentic assessment systems to measure and monitor student progress and assess future needs of students.
