Different students can have their own preferred mode of learning. Some learn best while in groups while others can perform best on their own. Placing them all in one class can be a challenge to the teachers who have to select a certain mode of teaching at a time. This is one of the reasons why observation from the higher ups are done from time to time.
During this visit, they are to observe certain factors in the delivery of the lesson. They may or may not take down important points to remember. Classroom walkthroughs are done from time to time but institutions are not required to do it. It is never considered as a concrete way of evaluating teacher and student performance. When this procedure is done, here are the common things that are taken into account.
Behavior of the class. The way on how the class behaves reflects how well the teacher is handling them. This also includes the level of their participation. The more pumped up they are to participate the better.
Lesson content. Institution head feel the need to know about the content of the lesson that their faculty delivers. This does not only include the information found on textbooks but more like its application to the current industry as well. The mentors level of awareness to the things that are happening in his field is a good factor that he can share to his students through the daily lessons.
Instructional practice. This refers to the way on how the teacher carries out his lessons. A boring class will only be boring if the teacher does not know how to build an environment where students can have fun while learning. The motivations that he use during the lessons will also fall in this category.
Comprehension level. Quizzes, oral recitation and all other means to gauge the level of comprehension by the students fall on this. There are times when written and oral exams are not as effective as practical activities. These techniques are all examined in this part.
Feedback mechanism. A teacher needs to be open to questions and should ask his students from time to time whether they have certain clarification. If there are, then he should be ready to address them. This fosters healthy interaction from both sides and participants will be more encouraged to ask if they know that their mentor is open to questions.
Professionalism. Being professional when handling the class is a must to all teachers. This is what the head of the school would like their faculty to remember. From time to time, they want to get an idea on how well this value is practiced inside the classroom. From the punctuality to the way a mentor deals with the student, his attitude will matter.
Private or not, more and more institutions are seeing the importance of this mechanism. While not mandated by law, this method has proven to be effective in fostering dialogue with the faculty and the administration. This is one method employed to make some changes as needed in the delivery of lessons to the whole gathering.
