Reflect, reflect, reflect! Evaluation forms serve as a way of assessing your own teaching performance and help provide a clear picture of what you are doing specifically, which may differ from your intention or what you perceive is happening.

​We have created free apps for many of these evaluation forms that can be found here (find under the Teacher Resources tab --> scroll down until you reach the "Teacher Evaluation" apps).
1. Duration Recording: ​Measures the amount of time a defined behavior occurs in class.
  • Teacher Behaviors: Management time, Task presentation length, and ​Circulating in class.
  • Student Behaviors: ​Management time, Practice time, Academic learning time, On/off task time, and Waiting time.

2. Event Recording: ​Measures the frequency of defined events.
  • Teacher Behaviors: Use of students' first names,  Cues given, Feedback given, Questions, and Checking for understanding.
  • Student Behaviors: Practice trials, Success rate, Feedback received, and ​Questions asked.

3. Momentary Time Sampling: Measures the occurrence and non-occurrence of behaviors at predetermined times in the lesson.
  • Teacher Behaviors: Pedagogical moves and ​Location in class.
  • Student Behaviors: % of students on task at any moment, % of students practicing at any moment, Student success rate, ​and Appropriate task structure.
