Classroom Observation Guide for Teachers

Classroom observation is a formative process used to gather data on a teacher's learning targets and provide feedback to help them grow. An observer should know what they are observing (a lesson), who they will observe (the teacher), why they are observing (for evaluation or professional development), and how they will observe (announced or unannounced, single or multiple observations, using a clinical approach with pre- and post-conferences). The effectiveness of an observation depends on the observer's content knowledge, pedagogical skills, experience, expertise, and interpersonal skills, as well as the feedback provided. When multiple observers are used, consistency is important regarding what counts as effective teaching and the feedback given.
