The document provides a planning template for conducting observation and feedback sessions with teachers, with the goal of helping teachers improve their classroom practices. It outlines four levels of interaction: starting with an open question, then providing scaffolded questions if needed, presenting any relevant classroom data, and intervening or modeling strategies if the teacher is struggling. An example interaction is given where the observer uses these levels to give feedback to a teacher on better engaging students during a reading of Harrison Bergeron.

Start with a targeted question and add scaffolding as
needed. Opening probe: What was the goal of your first read of Harrison Bergeron with students? Level One: Teacher identifies the problem. Right. Students were not doing the heavy lifting in summarizing the text. So what would be an action step for addressing that problem? Level Two: Ask scaffolded questions. How did the questions you asked help students to achieve this goal? 2
Probe 2-6 min
Level Three: Present classroom data.
Do you remember what happened when you asked students to jot down their questions after reading? Did any students write down questions? I noticed 0 students wrote down questions, and I did not see any students annotating the text while you read it. Level Four: Intervene or model. Let me read the first paragraph out loud to you. After first paragraph I want you to underline the words they jumped so high to kiss the ceiling. Make an annotation. Why are the characters actions surprising? What did you notice about how I did that?
