One indicator of high-quality early education is impactful interactions between children and adults. The use of the CLASS® tool by Teachstone, Inc. creates a common language and metric to define and assess quality interactions across three basic domains: Emotional Support, Classroom Organization, and Instructional Support.
This training program focuses on the use of CLASS® at the Pre-K to 3rd grade level, and its potential to improve quality and guide planning.
The state’s CPPI initiative recognizes that educators need multiple venues to develop proficiency with CLASS® and deliver consistent high quality interactions. For this reason, we provide introductory trainings as well as other opportunities for education professionals to advance their skills. See our Combined Calendar for more information about our offerings.
