# Public PreK and QRIS Program Coordinator - Professional Development - Frequently Asked Questions (ASQ)

### What professional development is available to help PreK teachers understand and respond to screening results?

**Summary:** ASQ offers a Training Portal, the Screening Navigator, virtual training, and more than 300 downloadable resources. These help teachers interpret results and connect them to classroom support and family conversations.

ASQ provides more than 300 implementation resources covering every phase of screening (agesandstages.com). The Screening Navigator walks teachers through interpreting results and sharing them with families, which is the part of the process where coordinators most want consistency (agesandstages.com). The ASQ Training Portal offers free presentations, activities, and handouts for self-paced learning, and virtual comprehensive training and Training of Trainers sessions let a coordinator build internal trainers who support providers across the program. For a coordinator providing technical assistance across a district or QRIS network, these resources offer a common foundation so teachers in different classrooms interpret and respond to results the same way. ASQ Online Hands-On Learning helps staff who manage data and reports. Because the materials cover not just administration but interpretation and family communication, they help teachers move from a score to an appropriate next step, whether that is a classroom strategy, a family conversation, or a referral. This makes professional development scalable across the providers a coordinator supports.

### What developmentally appropriate strategies support developmental growth in toddlers and preschoolers?

**Summary:** ASQ-3 Learning Activities provides over 400 activities, with 30 or more per age range, in English and Spanish. Coordinators can equip teachers to share these age-matched activities with families to support growth between screenings.

ASQ-3 Learning Activities is the resource designed to support development after screening (agesandstages.com). It includes more than 400 activities, with 30 or more per age range, written for families and available in English and Spanish. Because they are organized by age range, teachers can match suggestions to each child's developmental stage rather than using one set across a mixed group. For children in the monitoring zone, these activities provide a concrete way to support a specific domain while the child is observed over time (agesandstages.com). For programs using ASQ Online with Family Access, the activities can be surfaced to families right after they complete a questionnaire, so caregivers leave with next steps. A coordinator can make these activities part of the standard post-screening workflow across classrooms, so families consistently receive developmentally appropriate support. Using this sourced, age-matched resource keeps the program's guidance to families grounded in validated developmental expectations rather than ad hoc advice.
