Collect and Analyze Observational Data

Plan observations and track data with intention, in service of developing engaging instruction.

Observations can be a powerful tool for formative assessment and data-informed teaching, whether you're working alone, or in a co-teaching partnership that's utilizing the One Teach, One Observe approach.

This observational planning template utilizes a before, during, and after approach to observation, providing an outline to guide you in identifying the focus of your observation; a place to collect and record observational data during the lesson; and a guide for analyzing the observational data in order to inform instructional next steps.

As you track your findings intentionally and connect them to your instruction, students are more likely to be engaged and appropriately challenged in the classroom.
