CLASS® monitoring
CLASS® monitoring
The Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS®) is a key component of the Office of Head Start monitoring process and plays a vital role in measuring program quality. At Bluhorse Therapy Consulting, we help programs prepare for and excel in CLASS® reviews by:
Training & Coaching: Providing staff development to strengthen teacher–child interactions across emotional support, classroom organization, and instructional support.
Mock CLASS® Observations: Conducting practice assessments to identify strengths and areas for growth before federal reviews.
Action Planning: Developing targeted strategies to improve CLASS® scores while staying aligned with Head Start Performance Standards.
Sustainable Practices: Embedding reflective supervision and ongoing coaching so CLASS® success is not just for the review—but part of everyday practice.
Why it Matters:
Strong CLASS® performance demonstrates a program’s ability to foster school readiness, positive child outcomes, and family confidence, all of which are central to long-term Head Start success.
