Using the Classroom Observation Tool (CLASS™) for Toddlers Educator Assessment and Development
The CLASS® for Toddlers is a valid and reliable observation tool that focuses on effective teacher-child interactions, emotional and behavioral support, and engaged support for learning for children approximately 15-36 months old. Research has demonstrated that the CLASS® dimensions (listed above) are associated with more positive outcomes for children. Research indicates that interactions between young children and their caregivers are the primary mechanism of child development and learning. During this course, participants will examine each CLASS® dimension in depth and review strategies for use by individual toddler teachers or as a program wide approach. Participants will explore strategies to identify and document strengths and design strategies for improvement.
The specific measurement tool for this training will be provided to all educators who successfully complete the training.
