observations

I know you will want to the observation to be a positive experience for the stu­dents. Please inform them that I will be coming to the class and assure them I am looking forward to seeing the teaching and learning going on in your class first hand. When I arrive it would be helpful if I could “fade into the background.” Please do not expect me to take an active role in the class pro­ceedings or address any questions or comments you may have.
