Is this too much CLASS ??  Do we also link to ECERS 3?? This will also be reworked to be visually appealing and printable.

Here’s how your learning connects to CLASS dimensions:

• Instructional Support
  
  

  • Concept Development: Big questions encourage children to analyze, reason, and problem-solve—exactly the kind of thinking valued in this domain.
    
    

  • Quality of Feedback: You’ve practiced strategies for responding meaningfully to children’s ideas, extending their thinking and reinforcing learning.
    
    

  • Language Modeling: Engaging children in rich, back-and-forth conversations helps build vocabulary and complex language structures.
    
    

• Emotional Support
  
  

  • Asking thoughtful questions and listening closely shows respect for children’s thinking, helping to build strong teacher-child relationships and a positive climate.
    
    

• Classroom Organization
  
  

  • Encouraging children to express ideas and engage in discussion promotes active engagement and helps maintain productive classroom routines.
    
    

By using the strategies from this training in your daily interactions, you’re not only fostering deeper learning—you’re also building the kinds of intentional, responsive practices that lead to stronger CLASS scores and better outcomes for children.
