Agreement between AUSD and Teachstone, Inc.pdf
Rationale: The California Department of Education (CDE) requires California State Preschool Program contractors to conduct annual program self-evaluation using multiple assessments including the Classroom Assessment Scoring System® (CLASS). CLASS measures classroom staff’s effectiveness in instructional strategies and student support through interactions and classroom environment. Participation in the CLASS 2nd Edition Pre-3rd Training will ensure staff members are fully trained in meeting the CDE’s requirement and ensure program quality in each preschool classroom. Training will be provided by Teachstone, Inc. at Longfellow School on September 17, 18, and 19, 2024, or thereafter. This is the first year AUSD is using Teachstone, Inc.
Budgetary Impact: The cost, not to exceed $10,899, to be paid from the California State Preschool Program fund.
