Members of the Early Childhood Team, Karen and Kelli recently completed and passed their certification to become CLASS-Classroom Assessment Scoring System-observers. CLASS is a result of the LEARNS Act, which requires that a uniform classroom evaluation tool be established for all early childhood programs. They will soon attend the Train the Trainer portion so they will have the ability to create new assessors and build local capacity. #thinkcoop1st.
