Hi @Gillian Ramkalawon,
This is a great question, and I'm glad you brought it up! So, CLASS Connect focuses on flexible, subscription-based professional development. It offers self-paced courses and live, coach-led workshops tailored to real-world classroom needs. The program emphasizes practical strategies and immediate application. This is a stand-alone subscription that does not require prior training on the CLASS Framework. myTeachstone, on the other hand, is a platform used for managing CLASS implementation, including observation data, coaching, and tracking PD. It serves as an organizational tool to support quality improvements across programs. Essentially, CLASS Connect delivers PD content, while myTeachstone manages and tracks overall CLASS implementation and growth.
I hope that makes sense. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any other questions or need further assistance!
Best,
Rachel

Can you give a brief explanation between the difference between CLASS Connect and MyTeachstone in terms of professional development.
