In this one-credit course, students will learn to assess classroom practices and program effectiveness using the standardized tools the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care uses in its QRIS assessments, including the CLASS and the ECERS. They will explore how to use the results of such programmatic assessments to guide changes in their own teaching practices and classrooms and to advocate for systemic change in the programs they serve.
