I live in California, which is a very diverse state. Our classrooms have many students with various ethnic/cultural backgrounds, languages and children with exceptionalities. My questions is how does the class tool capture the diverse complexities of the classroom and measure adult/child interactions from a diverse and equitable lens?

Bridget - I along with colleagues and members of the CLASS community are thrilled to know that you are now an official member of the Teachstone professional team. Without a doubt, you made the right decision by making Teachstone your professional home. 

Many of us are familiar with the research-based origin and time-line of development that inspired the CLASS™ measure(s), however, I am very curious to know the "stories" around the research and development that went into making the first publication. Would you be willing to share a little bit about your own experiences with this process?
