Prepare yourself for the evaluation of the grade school teacher by setting aside any bias or rumors you may have heard. Observing and noting what you observe for yourself is what you are doing as an evaluator.
Note on a piece of paper what areas you plan to evaluate. You can note things like classroom control, attitude, knowledge of subject, communication skills and organizational skills.
Get four pieces of legal sized white paper, a clip board to hold the paper and two blue pens and one red pen.
Draw a vertical line down the center of the paper with a blue pen. At the top of the page, write the name of the teacher, date and start time of the evaluation.
Sit in the classroom quietly in a corner on a chair where the students don't notice you as much. Observe what the teacher does.
Take your first concern like "communication skills" and jot that down on the left hand side of the paper of your observations. Observe the teacher and note what you see. Note positives as well as negatives.
Continue with the rest of your concerns. Always go back and forth with each concern as you observe the teacher practicing each one. Keep the notes on the left side of the paper.
Go over your notes with a red pen to make any edit changes. Make sure your notes communicate effectively.
Write on the right side of the paper any suggestions to help the teacher with what you observed. "Speak more direct and clearly to the children, so they can execute your instructions better," for example.
Continue to do this all the way through your notes.
Look over your notes one last time before turning them over to the authority. Make sure your notes clearly express good points as well as your concerns.
Photo copy your notes for future reference in case your concerns are not immediately acted upon.
