desirable cognitive, social and emotional outcomes in learners: learning climate, classroom management,

lesson clarity, instructional variety, task orientation, student engagement, student success, and higher thought

processes.

This book will also teach you how to decide what to observe, how to effectively and efficiently observe in the

classroom, and how to apply what you have learned through observation to grow as a reflective teacher. In

addition, the book provides methodological concepts, observation instruments, and dialogues designed to

help you see and practice research-based patterns of effective teaching.
