Galileo Pre-K Online Curriculum Resources for Teachers


Galileo Pre-K Online is a fully integrated system with assessment, reporting, and curriculum tools. The integration of these powerful tools makes it possible to create a seamless connection between what children are ready to learn and the learning opportunities provided to them. The Galileo Pre-K Online Curriculum is available to all programs using Galileo Online. It contains 32 weekly lesson plans, over 500 classroom activities and over 200 at-home activities for families to share with their children.

Recently ATI released a set of resources for teachers using the Galileo Pre-K Online Curriculum. These include the Galileo Pre-K Online Curriculum Guidebook, the Galileo Pre-K Online Curriculum Materials List, and the Galileo Pre-K Online Curriculum Storybook List.

The Galileo Pre-K Online Curriculum Guidebook is a comprehensive resource which provides teachers instruction for implementing the curriculum along with directions for employing classroom best practices,  creating interest centers in the classroom, and  following Galileo’s research-based scope and sequence.

The Galileo Pre-K Online Curriculum Materials List is designed for teachers to use to inventory their classroom. The materials needed for all of the Galileo G3 Activities are listed so teachers can ensure that their classroom interest centers are supplied with needed materials such as manipulatives, art materials, and toys.

The Galileo Pre-K Online Curriculum Storybook List provides a list of storybooks which are suggested for use in the Galileo G3 Activities and Storyteller G3 Activities. The list also indicates which books are available in Spanish to support programs with dual language learners.

Each of these documents can be found in the Galileo Pre-K Online Professional Development Forum along with additional resources for using the Galileo Pre-K Online Curriculum.
