Pre-Kindergarten Accreditation
Dear Carrollton Families,
PGCPS has been using the Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS) as an observational instrument to assess classroom quality in our pre-kindergarten classrooms. Effective teacher-student interactions are a primary component of high-quality early educational experiences. Below you will find our fall evaluation “glows” and “grows.” We look forward to sharing our growth after our spring evaluation.
Glows
- Behavior Management- The teachers are consistently proactive and monitor the classroomeffectively to prevent problems from developing. The teachers effectively redirect misbehaviors.
- Productivity- The classrooms resemble a 'well-oiled machine'; everybody knows what is expected of them and how to go about doing it. The teachers were fully prepared with lessons and activities, and transitions were quick and efficient.
- Regard for Student Perspectives- The teachers are flexible in their plans and go along with students' ideas, and organize instruction around students' interests.
- Teacher Sensitivity- The teachers are consistently aware of students who need extra support, assistance, or attention. Students appear comfortable seeking support from, sharing their ideas with, and responding freely to the teachers.
- Quality Feedback- The teachers often provide additional information to expand on the students' understanding or actions. Their encouragement increases students’ involvement and persistence.
Grows
- Language Modeling- Encourage conversations and teachers should increase opportunities to
map out their actions and the students' actions through language and description.
