The teacher observation form is a tool used by K-12 instructional leaders to assess and evaluate teachers' performance in various areas of instruction. It is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the teacher's instructional strategies, the level of rigor and relevance in the classroom, the engagement of students in instructional activities, the learning environment, feedback and assessment practices, and the integration of technology in teaching. The form consists of different sections, each focusing on a specific aspect of teaching. These sections include Instructional Strategies (Teacher), Rigor/Relevance, Instructional Activities (Students), Learning Environment, Feedback and Assessment, and Technology Integration/Incorporation. Within each section, there are specific questions that guide the observation process. These questions cover a range of topics such as the teacher's activities during instruction, the use of research-based instructional strategies (such as Marzano's strategies), the depth of knowledge and Bloom's level of the lesson content, the questioning and thinking levels employed by the teacher (Costa's levels), the presentation of lesson content, and the engagement of students in various activities, including science lab activities. The form also assesses the classroom environment and its impact on learning, including the class configuration, other instructional activities, student-teacher interaction, transitions, routines, and procedures, as well as classroom management practices. It also evaluates whether appropriate student work is posted and includes a photo of student work. Additionally, the form examines the use of technology in the classroom, both by the teacher and the students. It assesses the extent to which technology is integrated into instruction, the teacher's use of technology, and the students' use of technology during the observation. Overall, the teacher observation form aims to provide instructional leaders with a comprehensive understanding of the teacher's instructional practices, the level of student engagement, the effectiveness of the learning environment, and the integration of technology in teaching. It serves as a valuable tool for instructional leaders to provide feedback, support professional growth, and improve instructional practices in K-12 schools.
