Our library of lesson observation templates – dimensions of good teaching according to research

Templates from schools, municipalities and organisations in different countries

These are normally influenced by research, more built on best practice and not as extensive as the templates from official organisations.

Templates from official organisations in different countries

It is interesting to compare templates from different countries to see differences in focus between different education cultures.

Use this to get inspired when creating your own template or choose template/templates to use in BRAVOLesson.

1.13 Sweden – Observationsschema – Hållbara strukturer, regler och rutiner – Eklidens skola

Micro visits for macro effect at Eklidens school in Nacka municipality. The observation template was used during the 2017/2018 academic year to make many short lesson observations and to systematically collect data without linking to person/teacher with a specific focus on the start of lessons and the end of lessons. Through the many visits and systematic approach statistics were obtained. It gave everyone in the school an overall picture to discuss together: “This is what our teaching looks like right now regarding the start and end of lessons.”
