The teacher observation form is a tool used by K-12 instructional leaders to assess and evaluate various aspects of a teacher's performance during a classroom observation. The form is divided into several sections, including Grade Level, Content Area, and Class Period, which provide basic information about the class being observed. The Classroom Atmosphere section focuses on the overall environment of the classroom, including the arrangement of students' seating, the presence of high-quality student work displayed, and the existence of classroom rules, routines, and procedures. The Student Behaviors section assesses the behavior of students during the observation, particularly their level of engagement and whether they are on task. The Teacher Behaviors section evaluates the teacher's actions and interactions with students. It includes questions about the teacher's engagement, the use of different teaching styles to address students' learning needs, and the teacher's response to inappropriate student behaviors. The Classroom Instruction section examines the teacher's instructional practices, including whether they check for student understanding, the types of learning styles addressed, and the teacher's role in the classroom during the observation. The Walkthrough Comments/Feedback section provides an opportunity for the observer to provide additional comments and feedback on any aspect of the observation that may not have been covered by the previous sections. Overall, the form aims to provide an assessment of the teacher's performance, including their classroom environment, student behaviors, teacher behaviors, and instructional practices. It also allows for specific feedback and comments to be provided to support the teacher's professional growth.
