    Our latest Teaching with CLASS podcast episode has arrived! This week, @Matthew Owens and I take a deep dive into the Instructional Support domain and provide some strategies for identifying Emotional Support and Classroom Organization indicators that can drive stronger instructional interactions.

    Please give it a listen and share your feedback! We're always looking for new ideas!

    What a great way to start the day... walking my dog and listening to this wonderful new episode! There is so much great information in this episode about Instructional Support and how to use skills and strategies that are already familiar in the ES and CO domains to develop IS strategies. Great stuff in here for teachers and coaches! Thank you!

    If you haven't listened to Emily and Matt talk about Instructional Support yet, here's a link to the episode. They focus on ways Emotional Support and Classroom Organization can raise Instructional Support learning outcomes and offer specific, practical ideas that both coaches and teachers can use today.

    If you're looking for support with Instructional Support (and we all are!) the last two episodes are here to help. Listen and let us know what you think!

    I found this podcast particularly useful, especially the linkages that were made between indicators from Emotional Support and Classroom Organization to Instructional Support.  As an observer, I have seen these examples (like repetition and extension in LM and awareness and responsiveness in TS) and Emily and Matt articulated these connections quite well.  Also like the very concrete strategies ("What makes you say that?"  "I see ....").  Very useful for coaches and for those providing feedback on CLASS results.

    Just wanted to share my "ah-ha" moment that I heard on this CLASS podcast on instructional support… We give teacher's prompts to encourage open-ended questioning (Why, how, what…), but the idea to use "I see…" as a prompt for positive specific praise was a light bulb for me.

    Encourage teachers to start out with an "I see" phrase and then end with the praise. Ex: "I see that you that you helped pick up the blocks, great job." I've shared with teacher's before to give more specific feedback instead of just "good jobs", but I'd never really thought of a prompt to give them to help make it more consistent.

    Thank you!

    Thank you for the podcasts. The format is very user friendly. I plan to re-listen to episodes before an observation or de-briefing meeting.
