The mCLASS newsletter | BTS resources and office hours

As we head back to school, we’re conscious of the uncertainty running through all aspects of teaching. As your partner in education, we want you to know that Amplify is here to help. Read on to learn more about all the new ways we’re supporting educators and caregivers in remote and hybrid learning environments.

Remote assessments

We recognize that schools are operating under a variety of teaching scenarios. The mCLASS team is here to provide continued guidance and support for assessing all of your students’ instructional needs. Whenever possible, we recommend administering teacher-led observational assessments in person. For times when this is not possible, we have included guidance for conducting teacher-administered assessments remotely.

Share the Caregiver Hub with your families

Helping families adjust to instruction at home has become a longer-term challenge than we’d expected. We’re pleased to add our support with our new mCLASS Caregiver Hub. It provides tools and resources in both English and Spanish to help families and guardians navigate the program with their children. Please share freely with your families.
