CLASS™ & Coaching: Putting CLASS™ into Practice Training
Putting CLASS™ into Practice is a two-day session intended for those who work in early childhood professional development and are already trained as a CLASS™ observer. This training equips supervisors, coordinators, trainers, and consultants to work with teachers on CLASS™ concepts and practices. The training covers a review of CLASS™ dimensions, practice defining the dimensions in teacher-friendly language, practice giving feedback based on CLASS™ dimensions and observations, problem-solving around CLASS™ coaching dilemmas, and a range of options for inserting CLASS™ into professional development strategies (e.g., training, coaching, and professional learning communities). A follow-up online training program and resources are also available to participants after the training.
Registrations from outside of Minnesota are also welcome.
Possible audience size: Up to 20
Cost: $180 per person
Those participating in select Minnesota Department of Education, Head Start and Department of Human Services Initiatives may be eligible for training scholarships.
