Checklists
Observation checklists are lists of specific concepts, skills, strategies, processes, or attitudes that are important to observe in students at a particular time. They can help to assess communication skills, cooperative learning strategies, thinking skills, and the extent of participation during oral presentations, classroom performances, individual or group work time, or completion of an assessment center. Checklists are designed to quickly record the presence or absence of specific qualities or understandings, usually in a yes/no format.
