About CLASS

The Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS) is an observational tool that provides a common lens and language focused on what matters — the classroom interactions that boost student learning.

Data from CLASS observations are used to support teachers’

unique professional development needs, set school-wide goals, and shape system-wide reform at the local, state, and national levels.

About CLASS

Based on research from the University of Virginia’s Curry

School of Education and studied in thousands of classrooms nationwide, the CLASS tool:

· Focuses on effective teaching· Helps teachers recognize and understand the power of their

interactions with students· Aligns with professional development tools· Works across age levels and subjects

About CLASS

What does the CLASS tool measure?The CLASS describes three broad “domains” of effective

teacher-child interactions. • Emotional Support• Classroom Organization• Instructional Support

Within each of the three “domains,” there are multiple “dimensions” that each focus on a different aspect of teacher-child interactions. Each of these “dimensions” includes a set of “indicators” that are recognizable by effective teaching practices, which are called “behavioral markers.”
