Observation Guidelines

Entering the Classroom

Find a spot where you won’t be in the children’s way. You may move about quietly. If a child approaches you and starts to talk, simply say
“I came to watch you, not to talk to you.” The children have been told not to talk to visitors. When there are two people observing, there is absolutely no talking. Jot down your questions. When the teacher is free, she will come to you. Please push in your chair when you get up. Thank you.
