Teaches: a resource for parents and early childhood educators

CTR Review

A set of resources designed for adults concerned with children aged 2-6. The content is good, but we were not impressed by the slick packaging. Much of the content is from the High/Scope Educational Research Foundation. The service provides a customized portfolio to track development over time, an expert forum, personalized guidance plans, and a resource library. For a "nominal fee" the site offers information about a child in six cognitive areas. One of the tools is the High/Scope COR (Child Observation Record), a checklist of developmental milestones based on child development information.
