Observation Support for Montessori Environments | Webinar – Teachstone Join Teachstone and the University of Virginia’s Dr. Corey Borgman to master CLASS observation strategies for the Montessori environment.

We hope you'll join Teachstone and our own Dr. Corey Borgman on February 12th to learn about the new CLASS Support for Montessori Environments. Learn how to adapt your observation practice for Montessori environments!

In a Montessori classroom, the magic often happens in the quiet moments of independent work. But for a CLASS observer used to direct instruction, these moments can feel challenging to code accurately.

We’re launching the CLASS® Observational Support for Montessori Settings to help observers and educators align interaction quality with Montessori fidelity. Join Dr. Corey Borgman and Emily Rouge for a first look at the new support tool and materials guide.
