Use this form when you observe a lesson and want to give a teacher clear, focused feedback. It guides you to notice how instructional time is used, whether students have real chances to process ideas in ASL and English, and how the teacher and staff model language for students. It also asks how academic and social language are built and how language expectations are set and kept during the lesson. Use it to capture what you see, name specific action steps, and note the supports a teacher needs to grow.
