Consulting & CoachingTKW Consulting can provide any number of
consulting or coaching services. Some the primary programs include:
Center for Inclusive
Child Care’s Inclusion Consultation and Support Services provide

NAFCC
Accrediation Observer
NAFCC is the only national accreditation system for
family child care providers. This system was developed with input from hundreds
of providers, parents, and early care and education experts to create a
definition of quality for family child care programs across the country.
CLASS Observer
Trained and certified CLASS™ observers visit classrooms or view classroom video,
recording observations and assigning numerical codes related to each of the
CLASS™ dimensions. The CLASS™ codes provide a snapshot of the classroom
interactions that are working well along with areas for growth. Studies in
thousands of classrooms show that students achieve at higher levels in
classrooms with higher CLASS™ codes. CLASS™-based professional development is
designed to help teachers build on their strengths, grow professionally, and
increase the effectiveness of their interactions with students.
