The teacher observation form is a tool used by K-12 instructional leaders to evaluate and assess a teacher's performance in the classroom. It consists of several sections and questions that cover various aspects of teaching, including the learning environment, facilitating learning, and 21st-century learning rigor. The form asks specific questions about the teacher's ability to set high academic expectations for every student, use digital tools and multimedia resources to enhance learning, structure lessons coherently with a significant beginning, middle, and end, and keep all students engaged throughout the learning process. It also evaluates the teacher's ability to model performance expectations, engage students in flexible groups, maximize instructional time, and communicate learning goals explicitly.
