Watch the embedded video from one of our CYS' partnerships with Teachstone. CLASS is an acronym of Teachstone’s observation tool, the Classroom Assessment Scoring System®. It measures what matters most to children’s learning and development: interactions among educators and children. However, CLASS is more than a measurement tool. It also provides specific descriptions of impactful educator-child interactions, based on research. These descriptions are a shared language for you to use as you improve your practice.
