Overcome Your Workforce Challenges
Build and maintain a strong workforce that leverages the proven power of meaningful interactions.
Building and maintaining a thriving workforce can feel like an uphill battle when priorities are scattered throughout your program. Take a moment to imagine a workforce where every educator shares the same priority and works together to achieve a common goal. It is in this type of unity where success thrives. The key to achieving unity in your program is through the proven power of interactions, and CLASS® can help lead you there.
CLASS® is a system designed to help you focus on the interactions that matter most for positive child-outcomes and enables you to measure and improve the quality of educator-child interactions. But the most exciting part is that the same interactions that help children grow and develop also make a positive impact on educators too through Parallel Process.
By adopting CLASS® as a culture you can start to take steps to build unity within your program to ensure every child and educator thrives!
