Join us for this two part training series on Introduction to CLASS for Educators.
CLASS in Three Acts: Learn, Practice, Reflect
This engaging virtual 1+1+1 series is designed for Pre-K educators who are new to the CLASS® (Classroom Assessment Scoring System®) tool—an evidence-based framework that supports high-quality teacher-child interactions and plays an important role in Vermont’s QRIS (STARS).
In the first session, participants will explore the CLASS® domains and dimensions, watch classroom videos, and identify interaction strategies together. Educators will then return to their programs to observe or try out a selected strategy. In the following sessions, they’ll bring back reflections, share insights, and deepen their understanding of how CLASS® supports everyday practice.
- Session 1 (Sept. 9): Get grounded in the basics of the CLASS framework and why it matters.
- Practice: Apply what you’ve learned through a short observation activity.
- Session 2 (Sept. 23): Reflect on your experience, deepen your understanding, and discuss next steps.
This training provides a welcoming entry point to CLASS and is ideal for early educators looking to strengthen adult-child interactions and support quality improvement in their programs.
