This teacher observation form is designed for K-12 instructional leaders to assess various aspects of a teacher's lesson. It includes questions about the learner objective, whether it was referred to during the visit, and whether students were reading or responding to reading. The form also asks about the teacher's use of checking for understanding and how they checked for it, as well as whether students were writing during the visit. Other questions focus on the teacher's modeling of their thinking, enthusiasm for the lesson, use of technology, and the percentage of students engaged. The form also asks whether the unit question was posted and what it was, and whether the teacher used a form of checking for whole group understanding. Overall, this form provides a structured way for instructional leaders to evaluate a teacher's performance and identify areas for improvement. Sections: Objective Please list the learner objective.
