MyTeachingPartner™ Pre-K
Teacher Training, Evaluation, and Compensation

MyTeachingPartner™ Pre-K is a professional development program for early education teachers that incorporates four resources, used individually or together, to provide teachers with the knowledge and skills to engage in more effective student interactions. First, a video library provides annotated examples of high-quality teacher–student interactions. Second, an interactive training uses the video library to practice and discuss effective teacher–student interactions. Third, a three-credit college course aims to improve teachers’ knowledge about interactions that improve student learning. Finally, a trained coach offers web-mediated coaching on classroom instruction every 2 weeks during the school year. The activities in MyTeachingPartner™ Pre-K are structured according to the Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS), a teacher observation instrument that measures quality of instruction.
