Ages & Stages Questionnaires trainings available in March

The Help Me Grow Kansas project is offering free virtual Ages & Stages Questionnaires (ASQ) trainings in March. 

These trainings are designed to support the statewide expansion of the ASQ and are not specific to the Kindergarten Readiness Snapshot. 

Kansas educators can visit www.agesandstages.com/ks/ for Kindergarten Readiness Snapshot resources. However, these upcoming trainings will provide a good introduction to the tool.  

The Ages & Stages Questionnaires®, Third Edition (ASQ-3) and the Ages & Stages Questionnaires®: Social-Emotional, Second Edition (ASQ:SE-2 provide a snapshot of children’s developmental milestones. 

The ASQ-3 addresses five developmental areas: communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem-solving and personal-social. 

The ASQ:SE-2 addresses seven social-emotional areas: self-regulation, compliance, communication, adaptive behaviors, autonomy, affect and interaction with people.

This workshop will give participants an overview of the online platform, engage in understanding and analyzing ASQ- & ASQ-SE data and inform teaching practices in the early childhood classrooms.
