classroom visits

Watching teachers teach

Classroom visits are observations conducted by administrators, supervisors, or other educators who enter a teacher's classroom to watch instruction in progress.

These visits may be formal evaluations tied to performance reviews or informal check-ins meant to support teaching practice: The principal conducts weekly classroom visits.

Parents or prospective families may also make classroom visits when considering a school.
