Karen Erickson's observation forms for visiting their model classrooms. "# Read about some of the key activities that will be observed in the classrooms: * Shared Reading * Self-Selected Reading * Self-Selected Writing # Download the three guided observation forms for the above activities. Visitors will need to bring these forms to the visit. Visitors will use these forms to guide their observation of shared reading, self-selected reading and self-selected writing. The forms are organized by the key components and steps of the lessons with places to take notes, as well as places to jot down questions for the teacher. In order to make the time as productive as possible, these completed forms will be used to structure the discussion with the teacher /after/ the lesson.
