Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS)

The Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS) is an observation tool used to assess the quality of interactions in educational settings, particularly in early childhood and primary classrooms. It focuses on three key domains: emotional support, classroom organization, and instructional support. By evaluating these areas, CLASS helps educators understand how well they nurture student relationships, manage classroom environments, and promote learning and development. The insights gained can guide teachers in improving their practices to enhance student engagement and achievement, ultimately leading to a more effective learning experience.
