Although previous CLASS knowledge or certification is not required, we recommend that facilitators have prior CLASS knowledge.
Why Our Customers Recommend This
“The Video Library Companion has been incredibly helpful. We’ve only had it for a short time and we’re already using it and its strategies. Because it breaks down the videos, it does the homework for us. I also love how it includes overviews of the dimensions. The most helpful feature is the questions that come with each dimension. The ‘detect, reflect, connect’ categories really help expand the quality of the questions we’re asking and lead to better understanding for teachers.” - Megan Hughes, Quality Enhancement Specialist at Smart Start of Buncombe County
