Webinar
In this edWebinar, we’ll examine new research from the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) on how SEL supports literacy development, along with Teachstone’s evidence of meaningful adult-child interactions in the classroom. Experts will discuss how SEL can boost literacy skills in early childhood and elementary grades and share strategies that leaders can use to support educators’ positive impact on their students. Join us October 3!
Research
Learn about a study on the early use of CLASS 2nd Edition gathered from videos of 380 classrooms in 27 Head Start programs, during the 2022–2023 school year. These findings support the conclusion that while there are subtle differences between CLASS 2008 and 2nd Edition scores, substantial overlap exists between the two tools. Both may be used to reliably measure classroom interactions.
