5. Appointment • Consider the objective of early conferences – you want to see the best shot. • Limit the range of times to select: “I need to observe a reading lesson either Tuesday or Wednesday…” • New teachers will over-plan (you might want to help plan the lesson). • Be on time.

6. Pre Conference • What is the expected student outcome of today’s lesson? • What have the students done to show you they are ready for this lesson? • How will you check for understanding on the part of every learner? • What else do you want me to know about today’s lesson? • What questions can I help you answer?

7. Observation • Make sure there is permission to video. • If not, just record the teacher. • Sit where you can see the teacher and students. Move around as needed. • Record about 10 minutes of the lesson.
