Princeton Pre-K Program Evaluation

Princeton Pre-K Program Evaluation 

Dear Princeton Families,
PGCPS has been using the Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS) as an observational instrument to assess classroom quality in our pre-kindergarten classrooms. Effective teacher-student interactions are a primary component of high-quality early educational experiences. Below you will find our fall evaluation “glows” and “grows.” We look forward to sharing our growth after our spring evaluation. 

Glows

Behavior Management- The teachers are consistently proactive and monitor the classroom effectively to prevent problems from developing. The teachers effectively redirect misbehaviors. Instructional Learning Formats- The teachers use a variety of modalities including auditory, visual, and movement and use a variety of materials to effectively interest students and gain their participation during activities and lessons.Teacher Sensitivity- The teachers are consistently aware of students who need extra support, assistance, or attention. Students appear comfortable seeking support from, sharing their ideas with, and responding freely to the teachers.Positive Climate- There are frequently positive communications, verbal or physical, among teachers and students. The teacher and students consistently demonstrate respect for one another. 

Grows

Concept Development- Intentionally integrate concepts, thereby providing opportunities for children to integrate their learning to previous experiences. Use discussions and activities that encourage analysis and reasoning. Me mindful to ask students to apply previous learning to current concepts and activities.
