Important update regarding CLASS® assessments for VPK and School Readiness programs.

 

The Florida Division of Early Learning has introduced new statewide guidance on how CLASS® reports should be structured. This change aims to provide programs with clearer, more detailed feedback to support teacher growth and classroom quality.

 

What’s Changing? 

Previously, CLASS® reports were delivered in a summary format. Under the new guidance, reports will now provide cycle-by-cycle feedback that:

  • Highlights teacher strengths 

  • Offers specific guidance for continued professional growth 

  • Provides more detailed and meaningful insights 

 

What to Expect 

Starting in January 2026, all CLASS® assessment reports will follow this new format.

 

We Want Your Feedback! 

As this is a new process, your input is essential. After reviewing your assessment report(s) in the new format, please share your feedback, comments, or questions so we can continue refining the process together.

 

Please send your feedback to classinfo@elcmdm.org

 

We look forward to hearing from you!

 

Thank you for your ongoing partnership and the work you do for children and families of Miami-Dade and Monroe!
