Classroom Observation Checklist

The classroom observation checklist is used to evaluate a teacher's performance in several key areas. It assesses student engagement, the rigor of instructional strategies used, the teacher's focus on instruction, the classroom environment, classroom management, the classroom culture, and additional observations. The evaluator uses notes, ratings, and evidence from the observation to provide feedback to the teacher on aspects going well and areas for refinement.
