Observing Across Settings with CLASS®
CLASS observations strengthen educator–child interactions by applying a consistent, research-based lens to classroom practice.
Consistent observation practices help programs understand interaction quality across classrooms and over time, so data can meaningfully inform improvement efforts.

Teachstone provides training, certification, and reliability resources that help observers:
- Maintain scoring accuracy across classrooms and sites, ensuring alignment even as contexts vary.
- Apply CLASS consistently across age levels and program models, grounded in clear, research-based definitions of effective interactions.
- Sustain reliability over time, so observation data remains credible, comparable, and useful at scale.
