RBPD Specialist Credentials
Jonathan Fribley has used the CLASS tool to facilitate educators’ interaction skills since 2005. He is a learning partner – facilitator, coach, mentor – in exploring adult-child interactions, the power of relationships, and developing the tools of growing people, including language, literacy, curiosity and thinking skills. His CLASS work ranges from sessions introducing educators to CLASS, to day-long seminars on specific dimensions such as quality of feedback or concept development, to year-long practicums coupled with coaching. He partners with sites to integrate CLASS interactions with other program tools such as curriculum into the daily practices of educators. He works with early childhood programs around the United States, including Head Start programs, child care providers, school districts, and charter school networks. He believes that when educators understand both children and ourselves then we can show up as who we hope to be and make a difference in children's lives.
