DIRECTIONS FOR THE OBSERVERS:
Write your observations on the teacher’s classroom performance on the space provided. Use additional sheets whenever
necessary.

1. The teacher demonstrated a strong grasp of the subject and effectively connected concepts
across curriculum areas. More interdisciplinary activities could enhance learning.
2. Multimedia presentations and online resources were well utilized. Encouraging student interaction
with ICT tools would promote engagement.
3. A variety of teaching strategies supported literacy and numeracy skills. Differentiated instruction,
such as peer tutoring, could further aid student needs.
4. Clear language, appropriate gestures, and varied intonation-maintained student interest. More
active listening strategies could deepen engagement.
5. The classroom atmosphere was welcoming, encouraging student participation and teamwork.
More peer-led discussions could empower learners.
6. Independent tasks fostered critical thinking. Self-assessment and goal-setting exercises could
further develop self-motivation.
7. Instruction was adapted for diverse learners. More multi-sensory techniques and personalized
learning paths could enhance inclusivity.
8. The teacher was sensitive to students’ backgrounds and provided additional support. Trauma-
informed strategies could further support students in difficult circumstances.

9. The teacher asked open-ended questions, but only a few students responded. Encouraging all
students to participate could make discussions more dynamic.
10. The teacher incorporated storytelling to explain a concept, which captivated the students. Using
this technique more frequently could enhance engagement.
11. Some students seemed disengaged during the lesson. Adding more movement-based activities
could help sustain their focus.
12. Group activities were well-structured, but some students dominated discussions. Setting clear
participation rules could promote equal involvement.
13. Visual aids were colorful and engaging, but some text was too small for students at the back to
read. Adjusting font size and placement could improve visibility.
14. The teacher used praise effectively, but some feedback was generic. Providing more specific
praise could help students understand their strengths.
15. The teacher gave clear instructions, but some students still looked confused. Checking for
understanding before proceeding could ensure clarity.
