Exploring the Promise of the Classroom

Assessment Scoring System® (CLASS)20

The Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS)—an observation tool that emerged from bodies of research and developed as a way to continue measuring these proximal aspects of teacher-child interactions to better understand what quality is and how it affects learning and growth.

Low-range scores (1-2) are assigned when behaviors associated with a dimension were demonstrated in a low-quality manner, were lacking, or were rarely present in the classroom interactions.

Mid-range scores (3-5) are assigned when the classroom interactions associated with a dimension were somewhat present during the classroom observation or a part of some children’s experience.

High-range scores (6-7) are assigned when the classroom interactions were highly characteristic of a dimension during the observation. High-range behaviors are those that are meaningful, consistent, sustained, and reflective of everyone’s experience in the classroom.

History of the TPP

Formed in 2010 with five partner agencies; A Brighter Community, Cornerstone, Easterseals, St. Francis, and The Learning Center.

Centered around a Helios Education Foundation grant totaling $641,567 over a 3 year period (2010, 2011, 2012). The grant was aimed at improving the instructional skills of approximately 70 teachers and increasing the Literacy and Language skills of approximately 530 low income children at risk for developmental delays.

The Tampa Preschool Partnership was formed in unison with the grant under the leadership of Conn Memorial Foundation.

Vision of the TPP was for the partner agencies to come together and learn from one another and share resources and expertise, thus forming a model consortium for others to follow.

St. Francis closed in 2012 and UCP of Tampa Bay and Metropolitan Ministries joined the TPP.
