This course was previously titled Putting CLASS Into Practice: Emotional Support for Teachers.

The Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS) measures emotional support in four dimensions: positive climate, negative climate, teacher sensitivity, and regard for student perspective. This course will prepare teachers to review these areas through the lens of their own teaching practices.

• Learn to identify and define interactions that fit in emotional support dimensions
• Recognize opportunities and barriers to emotional support interactions
• Set three action goals to support emotional support in the classroom

Please note that the CLASS tool is validated in center-based care, but it’s used nationally to support quality interactions regardless of setting. Family child care providers will benefit from this course, but some of the wording and video examples will be less applicable.
