Methods of Evaluation
The Rank List Indicator
So far, so good. Are there any other indicators to help me evaluate as I observe?
We have you covered.
Rank List
With the Rank List indicator, you can order classroom strategies, methods, or behaviors from most observed to least observed.

Classroom Indicator
I admit, you have a lot of indicators to gather information. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if you had a doughnut and coffee indicator.
We considered it, trust me! But there is one more indicator for collecting information.
Classroom
The Classroom indicator is very effective at quantifying how the educator utilizes the physical classroom environment during the lesson. With the Classroom indicator, you can quantify how much time the educator spends in each classroom 'zone.'
