Thanks, Dawn.
The original CLASS tools served programs for over 15 years. But learning settings-and educators-have evolved. The 2nd Edition Pre-K-3rd tool reflects current research, field feedback, and the need for greater cohesion across early childhood age groups.
Some key feature differences:
- The manual in CLASS 2nd Edition has updated language that emphasizes the uniqueness of each child and guidance to consider the individual child's response across interactions. Within the manual, specific additions, removals, and language adjustments to behavioral markers were made to address varied contexts and settings.
- CLASS 2nd Edition formalizes the scoring at the indicator level, which pinpoints more specific behaviors that drive the effectiveness of interactions
- Across the manual and Observer product lines, guidance and specific instruction are provided to enhance the consistency and fairness of CLASS observations and implementations.
- With combined age-level tools and streamlined content, 2nd Edition provides tailored support to drive the implementation and use of CLASS within a continuous improvement system.
If you're looking for specific differences, this crosswalk may be helpful, as it goes through differences in each dimension.
Let me know if you have any other questions or anything else we can help with!

Yes Hi. What's the difference?

Hi Dawn, thoughts on whether to switch to 2nd Edition when you recertify? Or the differences between the two?

Hi All,
I have been on the fence to recertify my Pre-K Trainer. Any thoughts on that?
