Adaptive Observation Practice Set

$4.95

The Adaptive Observation Practice Set is a scaffolded tool (paper-based or Google Doc) designed to help instructional leaders collect, interpret, and act on classroom evidence with greater precision preparing them for live or video observations. Through three structured activities, observers first identify key “look-fors” aligned with instructional expectations, then practice analyzing classroom behaviors to refine real-time decision-making. The final activity strengthens questioning techniques by guiding observers to adapt their approach based on specific classroom scenarios, fostering more authentic conversations with students. This guide enhances the feedback process by ensuring it is evidence-based, student-centered, and actionable.
