As a CLASS observer, you may want to know how COVID-19 guidelines will impact CLASS observations when teachers and students are socially distanced or taking other COVID-19 precautions. This document provides guidance for how to safely and effectively collect CLASS data in schools and programs with in-person teaching during the time of COVID-19.*
* Related guidance for teachers will be forthcoming. We also recognize the interest from the field in using CLASS to assess and improve virtual teaching and are working with organizations that are piloting this work. We will be sharing guidance on the use of CLASS in virtual teaching as a separate resource.
