7.3 Lesson Observation Form
An agreed template can aid observation and the collection of evidence on the student teacher’s performance. Writing notes about what happens during the lesson can help the student teacher look back at the lesson and reflect on what they did. For example, you might point out which learners were engaged or note those who were not. In this way you can present evidence of what happened in the lesson that the student may not have noticed.
Activity 7.2: Observation form
In this activity you will consider the components of a lesson observation form.

- next, examine the example lesson observation form given on the next two pages. What amendments would you want to make if any?
- how does the form support good feedback practice?
