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 performance during classroom observations. It is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the teacher's instructional strategies, classroom environment, student engagement, and adherence to standards and competencies. The room environment section assesses the physical aspects of the classroom, including cleanliness, organization, and the presence of meaningful artifacts. It also evaluates the accessibility of materials and the visibility of classroom rules and procedures. The students section focuses on their behavior and engagement. It examines their ability to demonstrate an understanding of the lesson's concepts, work independently, use correct grammar, and exhibit respect for the teacher and peers. It also looks for evidence of a reflection area that is understood by students. The teaching behaviors/instructional strategies section evaluates the teacher's instructional practices. It assesses whether the teacher plans activities that are rigorous and aligned with standards, asks questions at different cognitive levels, frequently checks for student understanding, and differentiates instruction to meet students' needs. It also looks for the use of various grouping techniques. Sections: Initial Information Room Environment Students Teaching Behaviors / Instructional Strategies Closing
