80 Sample Classroom Observation Comments, Suggestion and Notes

Why should a teacher or students observe and give comments of the class? An average student should be able to read, write, and handle tasks in class accurately. But when a student starts failing or lagging behind, this could be a result of paying less attention or losing focus and many other factors as well. Only a teacher can observe this and also help the student do better.  A student can also observe deficiencies in the class and project them to the teacher. This and many more are reasons why classroom observation comments are important.

Emerging as the best student or getting a first-prize award are dreams of many students but these can be hindered if the students don’t live up to the standards required to achieve this goal. Students cannot live up to the requirement if the teachers are not also measuring up.

Aside from giving lectures to the students, observing certain details in the student’s academic performance and daily interactions in the class would give the students an insight to either improve or maintain their abilities. Giving the students opportunities to give feedback and express themselves in class will further help them as well.

Listed below are several observations and comments that can enhance teachers’ performance and student’s learning ability and skill and bring the student closer to his goal of acing all subjects taught.

Sample Classroom Observation Notes

1. We will appreciate it if teachers are observant of their students, monitor students’ responsiveness in class, and attend to those that need improvement in class activities. Students need some attention to behave well in class.

2. This class came out last in the final competition because they were limited in their level of exposure. You can engage the students in more difficult topics and more activities to broaden their horizon and make them think outside the box.

3. Let there be more verbal communication even when teaching, let it be an interactive class, with more quizzes and oral questions. We suggest that this should be taken note of and let the students enjoy the full benefits of each session.

4. Students should be disciplined, I observed that students are not punished for their wrongdoing and this gives them a chance to commit the same offense again. Kindly put up disciplinary measures that will help the student behave appropriately in the class.

5. Teachers should do more practicals than theory. Practicals help the student understand better and give them more insights into a topic. Students can easily forget what they are taught but not what they see with their eyes.

6. I observed that the meals of most students in my classroom are without protein, just solely carbohydrates. A good meal will aid the responsiveness of students in the classroom.

7. Parents should stop helping their wards to write their assignments. It’s okay to help them through it and direct them, and allow them to write these assignments themselves, it will help improve their writing and understanding of the topic.

8. Teachers should ask questions at the end of every lecture and give assignments, to help the students understand and relate to new materials for every topic taught.

9. The class hasn’t been conducive enough for the student, there are few windows and no other ventilation, and learning in this kind of condition would be tough for the students. We would appreciate it if the school works on this.

10. As a teacher, you shouldn’t just stick with only the school syllabus, do more research, and broaden your knowledge, it will aid you while teaching the students.

Working or being in an environment where you can communicate your feelings without fear of criticism is a true blessing and not everyone has this privilege. So if you have this opportunity of sharing your opinion it should be an opportunity for you to express your ideas easily.
