The CLASS (Classroom Assessment Scoring System) is an observational tool to assess quality in preschool Head Start classrooms. The CLASS tool assesses interactions between children and teachers in three broad domains of classroom quality: Emotional Support, Classroom Organization, and Instructional Support. Data from CLASS observations are used to support teachers’ unique professional development needs, set school-wide goals, and shape systemwide reform at the local, state, and national levels. The Office of Head Start believes that the domains of quality measured by CLASS remain central to its approach to child development and education and serve as important indicators of the future school readiness of all Head Start children.
Who should attend?
This training is open to Program directors, education managers/coordinators, mentors/coaches, or anyone else who will conduct CLASS observations in Head Start Classrooms.
The CLASS Observation Training is meant for Illinois Head Start Staff only.
Training Format
The Class Observation Training is a two day training that helps you build an in depth understanding of the CLASS observation tool and explains how to use the tool to accurately observe and code classrooms. Explicit instruction and guided practice using authentic classroom videos helps to prepare for the CLASS reliability test that follows this training. Attendance is required for both days to be eligible for reliability testing. All participants commit to completing the CLASS Reliability test within six weeks following the conclusion of the training.
