The teacher observation form is a tool used by instructional leaders to assess and evaluate a teacher's performance during a lesson. It includes various sections and questions that focus on different aspects of the lesson, such as the curriculum, environment, instruction, data-evaluation, engagement, and closing. The form asks for specific details about the lesson, including the start and end time, the core area being focused on, the standards being addressed, and the evidence of teacher clarity. It also asks about the resources and materials used, as well as the academic, behavior, social/emotional, and physical aspects of the lesson. The form includes elements of balanced literacy, mathematics instruction, and all other content areas, as well as ABSS M.I.N.E. evidence-based practices, assessment, student engagement, and teacher engagement. The form may recommend instructional adjustments and includes a follow-up observation date, evidence, coaching comments, and fidelity of core.
