It includes detailed checklists for behaviors that contribute to a positive or negative environment and ratings to gauge the observed levels of emotional support.

It assesses the effectiveness of routines, transitions, and the overall organization to support learning, with ratings to reflect the observed effectiveness.

It uses detailed indicators to evaluate the depth of instruction and the engagement of students in higher-order thinking and language use.
