Classroom interactions reflect general warmth and caring, and are respectful of the cultural and developmental differences among groups of students. 2b: Establishing a Culture for Learning 2c: Managing Classroom Procedures 2d: Managing Student Behavior 2e: Organizing Physical Space The classroom does not represent a culture for learning and is characterized by low teacher commitment to the subject, low expectations for student achievement and little student pride in work. Classroom routines and procedures are either nonexistent or inefficient, resulting in the loss of much instruction time. Student behavior is poor, with no clear expectations, no monitoring of student behavior, and inappropriate response to student misbehavior. Teacher makes poor use of the physical environment, resulting in unsafe or inaccessible conditions for some students or a serious mismatch between the furniture arrangement and the lesson activities. Summary and Suggestions for Future Practice The classroom environment reflects only a minimal culture for learning, with only modest or inconsistent expectations for student achievement, little teacher commitment to the subject, and little student pride in work. Both teacher and students are performing at the minimal level to get by. Classroom routines and procedures have been established but function unevenly or inconsistently, with some loss of instructional time. Teacher makes an effort to establish standards of conduct for students, monitor student behavior, and respond to student misbehavior, but these efforts are not always successful.

Classroom interactions are highly respectful, reflecting genuine warmth and caring toward individuals. Students themselves ensure maintenance of high levels of civility among members of the class.

Teacher demonstrates a passionate commitment to the subject. Classroom routines and procedures are seamless in their operation, and students assume considerable responsibility for their smooth functioning. Student behavior is entirely appropriate, with evidence of student participation in setting expectations and monitoring behavior is subtle and preventive, and teacher s response to student misbehavior is sensitive to individual student needs.

Students are not all intellectually engaged in significant learning, as a result of inappropriate activities or materials, poor representations of content, or lack of lesson structure. Teacher s feedback to students is of poor quality and is not given in a timely manner. Teacher adheres to the instruction plan in spite of evidence of poor student understanding or of students lack of interest, and fails to respond to students questions; teacher assumes no responsibility for students failure to understand. Summary and Suggestions for Future Practice Teacher s use of questioning and discussion techniques is uneven, with some high-level questions, attempts at true discussion, and moderate student participation. Students are intellectually engaged only partially, resulting from activities or materials of uneven quality, inconsistent representations of content or uneven structure or pacing.
