[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does "instructional support" actually mean? [/quote]

Under CLASS? See below.

What does CLASS assess? CLASS focuses on teacher-child interactions. CLASS assesses processes rather
than structure. Tis means that CLASS is not looking at the content of the physical environment, materials, or specifc curricula. At the broadest level, CLASS describes three domains of teacher-child interactions that support children’s learning and development: Emotional Support, Classroom Organization, and Instructional Support.
• Emotional Support captures how teachers help children develop positive relationships, enjoyment in learning, comfort in the classroom, and appropriate levels of independence.
• Classroom Organization focuses on how teachers manage the classroom to maximize learning and keep children engaged.
[b]• Instructional Support involves how teachers promote children’s thinking and problem solving, use feedback to deepen understanding, and help children develop more complex language skills.[/b][/quote]

I have to wonder how that is measured. I looked at several of the reports and it looked like many were below target in that area. Lee, where I send my kid, also was. But I feel like that's part of what they do so well there, hands on problem solving and contextual understanding. Are schools given ideas for improvement in the areas they score below target?[/quote]
