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 in the classroom. It is designed to provide a comprehensive view of the teacher's instructional practices, student engagement, classroom management, and assessment methods. The form is divided into different sections, each focusing on a specific area of teaching. These sections include literacy components, instructional strategies, student engagement, rigor (revised Bloom's taxonomy), classroom structure, learning conditions, instructional feedback, assessment, and closing information. Within each section, there are specific questions that address different aspects of teaching, such as foundational skills, reading, writing, questioning, problem-solving, technology integration, and student interactions. The form also includes space for note-taking and recording observations. The feedback section allows the observer to provide timely and specific feedback to the teacher, including positive reinforcement, corrective suggestions, and prescriptive recommendations. The assessment section allows the observer to document the types of assessments used by the teacher, such as formative assessments, quizzes/tests, student projects, and inquiry-based activities. Overall, the teacher observation form serves as a valuable tool for instructional leaders to assess and support teacher effectiveness in the classroom.
