All Things CLASS

Hello,

Our research team is working with some wonderful early childhood programs in another state. We plan to use the CLASS assessment with our partnering programs as part of our research study. Our plan is to hire a CLASS consultant to help us code the videos of classroom in our partner sites. We would like guidance on best practices related to the collection of said videos. Our goal is to ensure that all recorded videos are acceptable for CLASS coding once our consultant is onboarded. 

Thank you in advance for your guidance,

Melissa 

Hi Melissa,

This is a great question. We have a really helpful blog post about this that you can find by clicking the link below:

Our Pre-K 2008 manual also has guidance about video observations; this can be found on pages 14-15.

I hope that is helpful and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any other questions!
