The teacher observation form is a tool used by K-12 instructional leaders to evaluate and provide feedback on various aspects of a teacher's classroom instruction. The form is divided into multiple sections, each focusing on a specific area of observation. These sections include student engagement, level of student work, differentiation, instructional materials, classroom culture, and more. Within each section, there are a series of questions that prompt the observer to assess the teacher's effectiveness in that particular area. The questions range from evaluating student engagement and participation to assessing the rigor of the lesson and the effectiveness of the instructional materials. The form also includes sections on multi-tiered support systems, digital learning environments, and embedded literacy. Overall, the teacher observation form is a comprehensive tool that allows instructional leaders to provide detailed feedback to teachers on their classroom instruction.
