If your school head or any education representative will conduct
a classroom observation please read and remember the following: CLASSROOM OBSERVATION AND DROP-IN POLICY Introduction 1. This governing body is committed to ensuring that classroom observation is developmental and supportive and that those involved in the process will: carry out the role with professionalism, integrity and courtesy; seek to reach agreement in advance on classroom observation to be carried out; evaluate objectively; report accurately and fairly; and respect the confidentiality of the information gained. 2. In accordance with these principles, the head teacher will: consult staff on the pattern of classroom observation which teachers can expect annually and seek agreement with the teachers and their recognised organisations on these arrangements; ensure that there will be a reasonable amount of time between classroom observations, irrespective of the purpose of those observations; ensure that classroom observation will be undertaken solely by persons with qualified teacher status and the appropriate training and professional skills. Neither pupils nor governors will undertake observations; and ensure that as far as possible, the results of observations are used for multiple purposes, in order to restrict the number of observations carried out. 3. The governing body recognises that visits to classrooms by head teachers or senior staff in order to support teachers or talk to pupils are separate from this classroom observation protocol. 4. The purpose of visits by head teachers and senior staff to classrooms will be made clear before they occur. 5. The governing body undertakes that, in accordance with this protocol, unannounced drop-ins to fulfil the statutory duties of evaluating teaching and learning and performance management will not take place. A further protocol on learning walks is attached.
So my co-teachers don't be afraid if any educational staffs
wanted to observe your classes. Coz they are here to help and uplift you not to put you down.. As popular Prof. said "No one can conduct a classroom observation if he just only observed otherwise he may give some advises to improve your teaching skills. If he can't give any help (helpless) he doesn't have the right to observe. Because he just only makes the teacher pressure and adds some stress."
