Walker-Magnolia ABC educators (pictured) recently completed the Arkansas CLASS Pilot phase as every classroom has participated in an observation. Arkansas is using the CLASS tool to measure teacher-child interactions. This is important because quality interactions build the young brain's architecture, forming the foundation for all future learning.
Other ABC classrooms have completed the pilot phase as well, including: Camden Fairview ABC, Ouachita Enrichment ABC, Smackover/Norphlet ABC, Hampton ABC, Harmony Grove ABC, Parkers Chapel ABC, Retta Brown ABC. All publicly funded classroom are participating in the pilot. The pilot will continue until May as we transition out of the pilot to full implementation.
Thank you to our early educators for continued commitment to quality care and education for our youngest of learners!
