Hello, As I read your post, I empathize with the situation. Not for you to share a response, but some questions that came to mind. Did the CLASS Observer(CO) say which dimension was affected by the shushing? How do the children react to being shushed? Do the children get quiet or continue what they are doing?
Suggestion: Maybe watch a classroom recording so you can see when the shushing is happening and the children's reaction.

Subject: Unconscious tick
I got my CLASS detailed score report and the observer marked that during 3 cycles I shushed the students thus affecting my score in a negative way. I shush then unconsciously like a tick. I'm not aware of it. It has been brought to my attention by my principal and para but they said that you could tell that it's not done intentionally and that I'm unaware of it. Should I have mentioned this to the observer prior to being observed. I just thought she would notice it wasn't intentional and therefore I didn't think it would affect my score. I mentioned the unconscious shushing to my neurologist in the past and he said it was common for patients who have partial focal seizures like me. If it'sa medical condition is there a way I can appeal the part of my score that was affected by this?
