• Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS) - A system for observing and assessing the quality of interactions between ECEs and teachers and their students.
• Caregiver Interaction Scale (CIS) - A reliable measure of the interactions between child care providers and the children they care for in both centre-based and home child care settings.
