INTRODUCTION
The teacher and the evaluator must have a pre-observation meeting to prepare
for the classroom observation and to review the teachers lesson plan.
During the meeting the evaluator and the teacher must complete the
Pre-observation Meeting Form.
The meeting should be used to ensure that the expectations for the observation
are clearly understood. An important task during the meeting is for the evaluator
to identify the expectations and for the teacher to describe the teaching plan for
the classroom observation.
Other purposes of the pre-observation meeting are the following.
