Welcome toQuaver Pre-K Curriculum

for

Designed explicitly to meet Texas Prekindergarten Guidelines, Quaver Pre-K addresses all outcomes, breakouts, and skills in each of the TPG’s ten domains. The result is a full year of integrated academic, social, and emotional learning, supported by innovative tools for assessment and engagement.

Teaching Resources for Today’s Classroom Quaver Pre-K represents an innovative shift in early childhood education. Our cloud-based teaching platform equips teachers with the flexibility to integrate technology in developmentally-appropriate ways throughout the school year. While the focus remains on teacher-child interaction, the proper use of interactive technology can help engage children and support teachers in planning and instruction.

The Quaver Pre-K Curriculum is organized into eight monthly themes and 32 sub-themes, with additional special projects for 180 total days of instruction. This booklet includes an overview of the first four weeks of Quaver Pre-K for you to explore along with the complete Scope and Sequence.

Explore Your Sample Online! To dig into these resources in more detail, simply log in to QuaverEd.com with your pro-vided sample credentials. There you’ll find a complete dashboard of tools for instruction and planning, along with the digital menu of lessons for a complete school year. From the online curriculum menu, select any day’s lesson to launch what we call an Executable Lesson Guide.

This sample includes everything you need to explore our evidence-based resources

for your prekindergarten classroom.

This Executable Lesson Guide includes all the teaching notes needed to address TPG outcomes, along with any recommended digital resources, ready-to-launch to a child-facing display with a single click. These resources can also be easily scanned to a mobile device or tablet for use in a learning center or small group learning environment.

Plus, Tangible Classroom Resources These digital tools are just part of what’s included to help bring learning to life in your classroom! Quaver Pre-K classrooms also receive a complete classroom set of offline materials, including a classroom book collection, a teacher’s handbook, manipulatives, posters, and more. This booklet will provide more information about this All-in-One Classroom Set and the other resources that are available to teachers with Quaver Pre-K.

Distance LearningWe understand that schools across Texas are experiencing a feeling of uncertainty about this school year and beyond. Quaver Pre-K is well-suited to help schools support any level of dis-tance teaching and learning. Our digital platform gives teachers a number of ways to partner with parents in a child’s education, including a collection of Learn-at-Home Activities with ready-to-use printable and digital activities. We are committed to working with educators to help districts, teachers, and parents provide stability and continuity of learning.

I hope you enjoy your time in the seriously fun world of Quaver Pre-K! We believe that by using the Quaver platform to complete your review, you will experience the benefits this technology can bring to Texas prekindergarten teachers. If you have any questions about the digital or physical resources included in your sample, please don’t hesitate to let me know.

Support & Professional DevelopmentTeachers implementing the Quaver Pre-K curriculum have access to a variety of options for support and ongoing professional development.

How to Use the CurriculumAs they begin to implement the materials, teachers will find easy-to-follow training videos and product support on each and every aspect of the Quaver Pre-K experience. Regular webinars offer additional oppor-tunities to continue learning and to get questions answered directly by the Quaver team.

Ongoing Professional Development In addition to product support, Quaver Pre-K offers guidance for teachers on best practices of instruction, classroom management, and the use of technology. Detailed Instructional Guides are provided in the curriculum itself along with video training and interac-tive webinars on these important topics with Quaver Instructional Coaches.

Personalized, district-level training and coaching are also available.

Hands-On Customer SupportThe Quaver Customer Service Team provides world-class customer care and technical support of our digital curric-ulum resources to teachers, administrators, and IT specialists. Our Live Person Hotline Support can be reached at (866) 917-3633, Monday through Friday between the hours of 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. Central Time. In addition to phone and email support, we encourage you to visit our automated Help Site at help.QuaverEd.com, where you’ll find online video tutorials and tools to self-diagnose common technical issues. Our entire development and support teams are located in one office, making it easy to be responsive to your needs.

It all comes together in your classroom!The power of Quaver Pre-K is in the combination of these on and offline resources in the hands of a well-prepared educator. We invite you to use your online access to Quaver Pre-K to review the first theme of the school year—All About Me! Then explore the pages from the printed Week-at-a-Glance Handbook for the same four weeks and see how standards from each learning domain are introduced in our Scope and Sequence.

When you’re ready, try a single activity, a center rotation, or an entire school day with your children; talk through the sequencing with your co-teacher or colleagues; and use the materials provided to get a feel for how they would work in your unique classroom.
