SCORING

RESOURCES

What is CLASS?

The CLASS observation tool is based on research that suggests that the interactions between children and adults are instrumental in a child’s learning and development. The CLASS observation tool concentrates solely on the quality of interactions between the teacher and child across multiple dimensions within three domains: Emotional Support, Classroom Organization, and Instructional Support.

The Observation

Observations are a minimum of 2 hours long

Observers watch the who, what, and how everything happens in a classroom

Observers assign a score range of 1 (minimally present) to 7 (highly present) for each dimension

The Scoring

Each CLASS Dimenson is scored using a 7-point range

Language Modeling

Language Modeling

Language modeling describes how teachers intentionally encourage, respond to, and expandon children’s language. The goal of language modeling is to expose children to a variety of words andphrases to support them with drawing conclusions, which enhances their understanding of the worldaround them. The following strategies can be used to help children develop more complex language,thinking skills, and social skills.

Repitition and Extention

Self and Parallel Talk

Frequent Conversations

Open-ended Questions

Concept Development

Curriculum developed based on data (assessments, information gained from family, observations,typical developmental characteristics) assist teachers to in support children develop thinking skills and adeeper understanding of concepts. Either singularly or in combination with each other, these fourstrategies can be used during small group times to create intentional experiences that strengthenchildren’s ability to understand the world around them.

With Genially templates, you can include visual resources to leave your audience amazed. You can also highlight a specific phrase or fact that will be etched in the memory of your audience and even embed external content that surprises: videos, photos, audios... Whatever you want! What you read: interactivity and animation can make the most boring content become something fun. At Genially, we use AI (Awesome Interactivity) in all our designs, so that you level up with interactivity and turn your content into something that adds value and engages. When carrying out a presentation, you must pursue two objectives: conveying information and avoiding yawns. Need more reasons to create dynamic content? Well: 90% of the information we assimilate comes to us through sight and, in addition, we retain 42% more information when the content moves.

Work Ethics

A great presentation... It is clear and structured to convey information in an orderly and hierarchical way, and to succeed in delivering content that excites the brain. For this, animation and interactivity are two fundamental pillars.

  • It is clear and structured.
  • Tells stories hierarchically.
  • Matches with your audience.
  • Adapts fonts and color to the theme.
  • Includes images and entertains.
  • Represents data with graphics.
  • Uses timelines.
  • Is animated and interactive.
  • Excites the brain, through multimedia elements.
  • Does NOT overdo it with bullet points 🙃​.

Engaging in Frequent conversations

Teachers actively listen, ask relevant questions, and contribute responses. They take advantage of and create opportunities for authentic peer to peer and teacher with child conversations (back and forth exchanges) to take place, where there is a natural flow of ideas and information exchanged during the program day.

Opportunities

  • Plan and structure your communication.
  • Prioritize and give visual weight to the main points.
  • Define secondary messages with interactivity.
  • Establish a flow throughout the content.
  • Measure the results.

Open ended questions

Teachers use open-ended questions to invite children to elaborate their responses. This type of question requires deeper level thinking; we use them to encourage an answer that is connected to what children currently know and how they might feel. For example, we could as “How was your day?” many times we would get an answer like “ok” or “It was good.”, however if we said, “Tell me about what you did today at school.”, you are asking for a more details. To support children, expand their response, as teacher we can model this by saying “I had a very exciting morning. When I got to school this morning, I went to the office to pick up the mail. I saw Clifford the Big Red Dog on his way to the library for the book sale.” This demonstrates for children that we want to hear more.

repitition and extension/expansion

When using this strategy, teachers focus first on the children’s attempt to communicate then extend/build directly on their contribution. For example, a child states, “That is a big tree.”, the teacher’s response could be “You’re right, that is a big tree. It is very tall.”

Pro Tip: Interactivity is the key to capturing the interest and attention of your audience. A genially is interactive because your audience explores and interacts with it.

In self-talk the teacher intentionally describes what they are thinking, seeing, hearing, touching, or doing. For example, “I’m giving each of you a handful of animal crackers. I am placing the crackers in a pile in the center of your napkins.” You're saying these words as you actively pass out the snack, making words like, “handful,” “placing,” and “pile” come alive for the children.

Self Talk

Parallel Talk

VS

In parallel talk, the teacher uses words to describe and connect to children’s current actions or experiences. For example, “You are using the blue crayon and drawing curved lines.” Teachers using parallel talk are narrating exactly what child is seeing, feeling, or doing. This makes words personalized and meaningful..

Strengths

  • Plan the structure of your communication.
  • Prioritize and give visual weight to the main points.
  • Define secondary messages with interactivity.
  • Establish a flow through the content.
  • Measure the results.

For this, it can be a good practice to create a scheme and use words that are etched into the brains of your audience. Need more reasons to create dynamic content? Well: 90% of the information we assimilate comes through sight and, in addition, we retain 42% more information when the content is in motion.

Our brain is prepared to consume visual content. Some data: 90% of the information we process comes through sight and we process visual content up to 60,000 times faster than text. That's why visual communication is more effective. Disciplines like Visual Thinking facilitate the creation of visually rich notes thanks to the use of images, graphics, infographics, and simple drawings. Go for it! Use graphics in your presentation. Interactive visual communication improves the results of communication on any topic and in any context you can imagine. Make the numbers become stories.

A presentation is NOT WOW when it's boring and you see the drowsiness taking over your audience because no one has understood anything

We capture visual content better. Visual content is associated with cognitive and psychological mechanisms. Things come through the eyes, the first image is what counts. We associate visual content with emotions. Do you feel like your text is still missing something? Give it animation to captivate your audience.
