CLASS Group Coaching is a training series organized around the Know, See, Do model of professional development for teachers. This training series encourages and supports teachers' use of CLASS to explain the impact of specific teacher-child interactions on children's learning, identify effective teacher-child interactions in videos and in their classrooms, and strengthen their teaching practices by integrating more intentional teacher-child interactions. This program will support teachers’ growth no matter their experience level with CLASS. Infant CGC series (must attend all 5 sessions to be eligible for a $ 150 Stipend)
