I'm so glad you're interested in becoming a CLASS Observer!
Here's how to get started:
- Identify the CLASS tool you need: First, determine which age level you'd like to be certified in (Infant, Toddler, Pre-K, K–3, etc.
- Attend a CLASS Observation Training: You'll need to complete the official CLASS Observation Training for your selected age level. You can view upcoming trainings and register here: https://teachstone.com/regional-trainings/
- Complete the Certification Test: After training, you'll take the online CLASS certification test. To become certified, you'll need to pass within the reliability threshold. Once you pass, you'll be a CLASS Certified Observer for that age level!
If you're unsure which tool or training is right for you, Teachstone's customer support team can help guide you.
