How to Use This Template
Fill Academic Year, Term and Observation Coordinator, then place every planned lesson in Observation Schedule avoiding exam weeks and school trips. Enter Total Observations Planned so the coverage target is explicit.
Complete Observation Guidelines with focus areas and notice periods (a day's notice is customary for developmental observations), and leave Observer Notes Section blank for on-the-day evidence. Circulate the schedule to all staff at term start so observations are routine rather than alarming, and track completion rates before the term closes.
When to Use This Template
Scheduled lesson observation
Share the observation focus and rubric with the teacher beforehand, record evidence against each dimension, and agree on a next observation date.
Annual staff evaluation cycle
Run self-assessment, observation and results sections through the same rubric, then collate scores and goals for the performance review meeting.
Agreeing goals for the next cycle
Close each evaluation by recording two or three specific, measurable goals for the next period and the support the teacher will receive, then revisit them at the following observation.
