This document contains a class observation checklist used to evaluate whether a student teacher follows proper class stages during their teaching performance. The checklist contains criteria like clearly stating the lesson aim, reviewing previous lessons, introducing the new topic, checking student comprehension, modeling activities, giving clear instructions, allowing student practice with feedback, using helpful resources, concluding with an activity related to the aim, and checking student learning. The observer and student teacher would sign off after notes are provided in the post-observation comments section. References are included at the end from authors on teaching strategies, reflective teaching, and exploring teaching beliefs and practices.
