From Vision Building to Implementation to Evaluation: The Many Uses of a Classroom Observation Protocol
Abstract
"AIM has developed a new classroom observation protocol based on the research presented in How People Learn for examining student opportunity to learn in science instruction. This session will introduce participants to the protocol and discuss how using such a protocol could help a project throughout its life cycle: from developing a common vision of effective instruction, to examining how teachers translate what they learn in professional development to the classroom (so mid-course adjustments to PD can be made), to examining impacts of the project on student opportunity to learn important science content."
