The teacher observation form is a tool used by instructional leaders in K-12 schools to assess and evaluate teachers' performance in various areas related to curriculum, instruction, and student learning. It is designed to provide a comprehensive view of the teacher's effectiveness in delivering instruction and meeting the needs of their students. The form is divided into several sections, each focusing on a specific aspect of teaching. These sections include a focus on curriculum, instruction, the learner, the student, the classroom, student needs, and review/assessment. Each section contains a set of questions that address different elements within that particular focus area. The questions in the form cover a range of topics, such as the content and objectives of the lesson, the presence of essential questions and standards, the instructional strategies and practices used by the teacher, the format of group work, the actions of the students during the lesson, the instructional materials utilized, the application of Bloom's Taxonomy and Schlechty's Levels of Engagement, the classroom environment, the activities conducted in the classroom, the teacher's response to student learning needs, and the review and assessment of student learning.
