Observation Protocol for Supportive Classroom Environment

Protocols that can be used in a classroom observation or through instructor reflection

Scope

The following are behaviors and phenomena that contribute to a supportive classroom environment. While formal measurement through student surveys is one approach to gathering data on the classroom environment, another way is through observation. This can include individual instructor self-observation or having a colleague or consultant perform a more formal classroom observation. The Inventory of Supportive Instructor Practices can focus an observation on elements of a supportive classroom environment. Instructors can review the inventory and select a set of practices and behaviors to develop feedback.
