<p> OBSERVATIONS</p><p>Questions which should be considered by Administration during the Observation Process. </p><p>Administration will need to know what to look for when entering a classroom to help make an assessment determination. Questions which should be answered include:</p><p> What specifically is the teacher doing with technology within the classroom?</p><p> Is the teacher using technology with the current curriculum?</p><p> How are students using technology?</p><p> What standards are being used in relation to the technology?</p><p> If the technology is not available to all students at the same time, how are students sharing the technology?</p><p> What evidence of the results of technology use are displayed in the classroom? Do you see computer-generated charts, graphs, or tables? Reports containing photographs or other computer-generated images? Print-outs from slide shows? Printed blog entries? Technology should extend lessons in visible ways.”</p><p>Assessing Classroom Technology Integration, http://www.education- world.com/a_tech/tech/tech243.shtml</p><p>Example of a Classroom Observation Template</p><p>School: Webscape Middle School Teacher: Grade/Subject: Class Size (est.): Observer: Date: </p><p>Degree to which teacher is employing direct instruction (circle number):</p><p>1.
