The Classroom Assessment Soring System (CLASS) Pre-K is an observation tool that focuses on interactions between adults and children. CLASS Pre-K includes three categories of teacher-child interactions that support children's learning and development: Emotional Support, Classroom Organization and Instructional Support. For more information on CLASS click here.
The Environment Rating Scales(ERS): Infant/Toddler Environment Rating Scale-Revised (ITERS-R) and Family Child Care Environment Rating Scale-Revised (FCCERS-R) are designed to assess quality in an early childhood or school age care group. Quality consists of the various interactions that go on in a classroom between adults and children. ITERS-R and FCCERS-R also assess the interactions children have with the many materials and activities in the environment. For more information on ITERS-R click here. For more information on FCCERS-R click here.
