To maintain CLASS® fidelity, it's important that all observations use the official scoring tools provided by Teachstone - the version included in your training materials. Using different or older scoring sheets (even if they appear similar) can impact the reliability and validity of your observation results.
For your current situation:
-
Use Version 2 (the one from your training materials) for all observations whenever possible.
-
If you have other scoring sheets left behind by the previous director, those should not be used for scoring, as they may not fully align with the official CLASS indicators and rubrics.
If you need clarification or want to confirm whether a specific scoring sheet is approved for your observations, Teachstone Support can help:
📩 Email: support@teachstone.com
📞 Phone: (877) 401-8007

Using the correct scoring sheet ensures your observations are accurate and maintain CLASS fidelity. ✅

Subject: observation sheets
I have scheduled multiple observations and I am using the newest Version 2 scoring sheet ( that came with my training materials)for some of the observations, but a slightly different scoring sheet ( left behind by the previous director), Version 2 for others- does this difference in observation scoring sheet meet fidelity, when using the CLASS tool?
