Teacher: I didn’t think about that. I’ll try that next time.
Observer: Is there anything else I can help with?
Teacher: Nothing about this lesson, but I would like to ask you about how to group students more effectively. You didn’t mention it, but I thought it took too long for the students to group. Do you have any suggestions?

Handout 7: Post-Observation Conversation Template
Things to remember:
The purpose of the observation is to provide support. This is a post-observation conversation NOT an evaluation. It is very important that you keep your questions and comments positive even if you have concerns.
Be supportive
Focus only on observed behavior
Describe, don’t judge
Be specific
Ask questions that promote reflection on practice. For example: I saw that you ________. Could you tell me more about what you were thinking? or Could you tell me why you chose to __________?
Share information instead of telling the teacher what they should have done. Have you considered trying _______? Would ________ be possible?
ONLY focus on the areas the teacher asked for feedback on. This is very important because you do not want to overload the teacher with information.
Follow the PQP (Praise, Question, Polish/Provide Suggestions)
Suggested Questions:
Always start off with praise:
Tell me about what worked well today.
I really liked how you [describe a strategy or activity] _______ today. Why did you choose this strategy or activity? Did the students respond as you expected? Were you happy with the student response?
