VKRP’s wide range of instructional resources were designed to help teachers and school administrators support early learning skills in the areas of mathematics, self-regulation, and social skills. These resources were developed by researchers at the Center for Advanced Study of Teaching and Learning (CASTL) with expertise in teacher-child interactions and instruction. Many of them have been used as part of professional development programs for teachers. Educators have shared how helpful they find these tools and how easy they are to navigate and use.

VKRP’s instructional resources include skill and strategy guides as well as suggested activities to support learning. The resources are organized by domains and skills across the areas of mathematics, self-regulation, and social skills.

The VKRP skill and strategy guides provide information on a learning domain, how skills develop within that domain, and how they can be supported throughout the day. Within the skill and strategy guides, you’ll find suggested activities that support early learning skills and can be used to help students one-on-one, in small groups, or as a whole classroom. The activities are not intended to replace curricula but can be used to supplement classroom instruction.
