What is the CT DOTS Framework?
The CT DOTS Framework (Connecticut Documentation & Observation for Teaching System) is a tool designed to help educators observe and document student progress in key developmental areas. It supports early childhood educators in aligning their practices with Connecticut’s Early Learning and Development Standards (CT ELDS). The framework emphasizes ongoing, authentic assessment through observations, ensuring that teachers can make informed decisions about individual student needs. CT DOTS aims to improve educational outcomes by fostering reflective teaching and individualized learning experiences. Learn More.
