To attain certification as a CLASS® Observer, it is essential to possess a comprehensive understanding of the CLASS® tool. This involves successfully completing a 2-day training session and passing a reliability test post-training. Attendance and active participation on both days are mandatory for all participants. Once certified as an Infant CLASS® Observer, responsibilities include conducting CLASS® observations, coding the observations, entering scores into LinkB5, and delivering constructive feedback to classroom teachers.
