Hello - I'm Barbara and will be observing classrooms as part of my role as an ECCP consultant. I'm currently trying to pass my reliability testing and finding that challenging. I initially scored too low, then too high. Any suggestions from veteran CLASS observers would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @Barbara Chatterton, so glad to have you here! There are a number of great tips, videos, and resources on certifying on this page: https://teachstone.com/reliability-support/ that I recommend before your third attempt. In addition, if you reach out to Customer Support (contact@teachstone.com) before you begin your third attempt, they can match you with a CLASS Specialist here at Teachstone that can look at your previous scores and help talk through them with you before trying your final attempt. ​

Hello Barbara,
Passing the reliability test can be challenging; however, do not be discouraged. Take advantage of the full resources offered by Teachstone including reaching out to your trainer or reliability/support for feedback.  Part of successfully becoming reliable is to take detailed behavioral notes in all of the dimensions. Pace yourself. Refer back to your training materials, participant guide, the training videos for the scoring process, and your CLASS manual. These are just some of the helpful resources you should have access to as you prepare to become reliable.  I wish you the best.  HAPPY SCORING

Hi! I'm Ruth! I have been teaching early childhood since 1981 in northern Illinois... teaching EC spec ed, ESL, and at-risk children. This past year was my final year. I figured 40 years was enough... BUT, I know I will miss the children. I was certified as a CLASS preschool observer a few years ago but let it lapse since my district was not interested in using it at that time. Now that I am a retired free agent, I am looking into re-doing it so I can combine my classroom experience with my CLASS training to help out other classrooms in other districts, hopefully. I consider myself a developmentalist who puts relationships first.

Hi my name is Denise Johnson and I'm from Boston, MA. I am the Lead Teacher in a Universal PreKindergarten (UPK) at Nurtury in Jamaica Plain.  
How do you separate being "Nurtury first", verses meeting the requirements of the UPK grant without being marked as "your room is too... BPS (Boston Public Schools" meaning: structure of centers and curriculum execution?

Hi, Y'all! My name is Shelby Gordon. This is my first time being CLASS certified in Infant and Toddler. I am originally from San Diego, CA but living and LOVING Austin, Texas. I am an Early Head Start Mentor Coach for Child Inc. in Austin and I help the EHS teachers with professional development, child assessments and their in-classroom education on lesson plans, activities and things of that sort. I think one thing I struggle with is making sure that I am scoring as close as possible to the reliablity score and understanding the difference between one score and the score next to it. Nice to meet you all, I look forward to hearing your input.

Hi everyone! ☺️👋🏻

My name is Brandi and I am SO excited to be here! I am originally from Colorado, born and raised, but last year I decided I needed a change and up and moved to Illinois and have been loving it! I work at a private preschool called the Goddard School as an assistant teacher, but I am here to get my CDA so I can become a lead teacher. I love what I do, I love working with kids, and I love the school I work at. I have only been in the teaching/center atmosphere for a little over a year now, so I feel like there is a lot for me to learn but I am so excited to learn and grow as a teacher!

Hi! My name is Brandi & I'm from Indianapolis , Indiana. I've been working in the field for less than a year, and am eager to advance my knowledge! Right now, I am an assistant teacher at KinderCare, and am working towards my CDA, so I can grow professionally. I'm excited to learn new things, one of which being how to navigate this online class 😂
it's a little confusing so far, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it in no time !

Hi, my name is Allura. I am a teacher at KinderCare in the infant room! I am from New Jersey, I have worked with children before but never at a daycare so its kind of a different experience for me but i have been learning so much within the 10 months I've been with my team, and I'm excited and a little nervous to learn more, which is why I'm going for my CDA. i have two kids of my own, so its helpful to know a lot of resources, I have always wanted to be a big impact in children's lives so I'm reaching my goal to do so. My only question if any one can help out, I want to do activity's in my room, we range from 3months-12months. i have a few that are 9-12mo i have a few ideas for them but what are some activity's I can do with the younger ones? They are all on their own schedules so it can be a bit tricky, but i would love to hear some ideas because i really want to include education in this crazy schedule!

Hi, 
I am Cindy Pouwels.  After teaching for 20 years, 16 of which were in Pre-K, I am starting a new position as the Headstart Educator Coordinator/Coach/Safety Manager for Plaquemines Parish.  I am familiar with CLASS through the lens of a teacher.  Now, however, I will be working with CLASS through the lens of an observer.  I am very excited, but a little nervous as well!  I am happy to have the support of the Teachstone community.

Hello, I'm Raven and I'm from Albuquerque, New Mexico. I am a toddler teacher at Kindercare. I work with ages 12m-2year. I have also work with younger toddlers and 2 year old's. I have been working there for a year. I would like to learn more about the interactions and behaviors with the children. I think it would help me be a better teacher. I want to learn as much as I can from this class. This is my first time taking a online class so I'm hoping I can get through the course easily and learn quickly how to manage the class. I am excited to joining though!

My name is Deb Sarno. I am from Phoenixville, PA and this will be my 1st year teaching Preschool.
I have my CDA in Infant/Toddler development and have decided to take advantage of this perk that Kindercare offers, of paying for your CDA courses, and earn my CDA in Preschool/Pre-K now.
An issue I struggle with, are coming up with new ideas to keep that one student, who constantly gets off his mat at naptime.
Thought it was just an age thing, but now that I am in the Preschool and Pre 5 classrooms, I see that it might be more than just age.
Any tips?

Hello a d welcome have you observed what they like to do? Also he may not be a napper. Offer some quite activities and if possible see what other kids are none snappers and possibly take them outside for 30min. Follow their ques and see what you get.

Welcome Danielle Anderson and Deborah Sarno! I am so glad that both of you have joined the CLASS Learning Community! 

Cathy, I love your advice about Deborah's question! I would also say that it might help the student to put his mat in a different location in the classroom, or near a sound machine or another source of white noise. I know even I have a hard time relaxing when I know there is so much else I could be doing. Does anyone else have any advice for Deborah's student?

Best,
Allison

Hi Breanna Matheny,

Welcome to the CLASS Learning Community, and congratulations on beginning the CDA program! I would highly recommend joining the CDA group right here in the CLASS Community if you'd like! You can find it by going to groups, and then selecting the purple join button next to the CDA with CLASS Forum. I hope this helps!

2. What your role is

3. One question or struggle you're having that you could use some help with from the Community

Hi my name is Ariel 
I am from Arizona currently working as a teacher in the preschool class.
I am working towards my CDA, so I can grow professionally. I would love to learn more about the infant room and how to care better for kids of a younger age.

Hello Everyone! - I'm Ms. Maggie and I am finally here working with CLASS (Pre-K). I just moved to El Monte CA and I work at Easterseals Child Development Center in the San Bernardino County. I  am a Head Start Educator III for 5 years working with children 3-5 years-old. My one question is...
If you have a teacher whom wants to take over the classroom, how do I tell her that she should share the classroom with others (me) ? If we are being observed, the person whom is observing us will see that we are not compatible working together.
