Using the Classroom Observation Tool (CLASS) for Educator Assessment and Development
The Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS) is a valid and reliable observation tool that focuses on emotional support, classroom organization, and instructional support for Pre-k and older age groups. This training will provide an overview of how the CLASS observation tool is organized, and implemented. Participants will gain a fundamental understanding of how to use this tool to increase their effectiveness as an educator.
Course Description:
The CLASS™ is a valid and reliable observation tool that focuses on emotional support, classroom organization, and instructional support in Pre-K and older age groups. Research has demonstrated that the CLASS™ dimensions are associated with more positive social and academic development for children. This course is designed to train supervisors, administrators, or mentors to use the CLASS tool with Pre-K educators on an ongoing basis to determine the educator’s strengths and challenges in the CLASS dimensions, provide specific feedback as a result of the observation, and discuss areas for improvement.
