The teacher observation form is a tool used by instructional leaders in K-12 schools to assess and evaluate various aspects of a teacher's classroom and instructional practices. The form is divided into several sections, each focusing on a specific area of observation. The first section, "Class Information," collects basic details such as the content area, grade level, arrival time, class period, and class size. This information helps contextualize the observation and understand the dynamics of the classroom. The "Level and Focus of Instruction" section explores the depth of knowledge demonstrated by the teacher and their understanding of instructional frameworks such as Understanding By Design and Gradual Release. It also evaluates whether the observed practices align with best practices in teaching and learning. The form includes specific questions related to instructional strategies and techniques. These questions assess the teacher's ability to identify similarities and differences in content, as well as their use of assessment for learning purposes. This section aims to gauge the teacher's effectiveness in engaging students and promoting their understanding and growth.
