The new year and new school semester is the perfect time to provide your teachers with formal CLASS™ observations and targeted feedback. Teaching staff have been in their classrooms long enough to develop a rhythm with their students and their classroom environment. This is the “sweet spot” for coaching and professional development.
Our formal CLASS™ observations go beyond providing scores. We will provide your program with a targeted written narrative for each classroom that will include strengths and opportunities for growth, a comprehensive report comparing your program scores to the national Head Start averages, and program wide trends that can identify professional development needs for in-service or pre-service training.
Essential Elements offers mentoring and coaching for education managers, education specialists, center directors and teaching team leaders simultaneously as we conduct formal CLASS observations. Teacher feedback and coaching can be incorporated into this process.
We would love the opportunity to partner with you as you invest in program excellence.
