Make special note of the following:
- Does the teacher have control of the room?
- As the children are moving from one activity to another, do they know where they should be or are they running around the room with no direction from the teacher?
- Does the teacher interact with the children? Does she ask open-ended question? Open-ended questions require more than one word answers. (Ex. How is this alike? How is it different?)
- Do children move from teacher directed activities to a child directed activities.
- Does the teacher alternate between quiet and active activities?
- Do the children appear happy in the classroom?
