Using exemplar videos with teachers

Question

Are we permitted to use exemplar videos as a training tool to intro CLASS and reinforce what high quality can look like for teachers? And if so, have any of you found that to be an effective strategy especially for teachers new to the field? Thanks for any responses!

Answer

Hi @April Schmidt

Thank you so much for reaching out! I checked in with our certifications team, who confirmed that the videos in the video library could be used to show educators models of effective CLASS interactions. I cannot speak to this being an effective strategy myself, but we do also offer the Introduction to the CLASS Tool and CLASS Primer for Teachers if a more formal CLASS training would better suit your educators' needs. The primer for teachers can be purchased separately or as part of the foundations for teachers course. I hope this helps!

Best,
Allison
