**Classroom Walkthrough and Observation Form with Disaggregate/Aggregate Data-** By Youssef Elias //Use [|this form] to evaluate teachers' lessons, pedagogy, and classroom climate. All data will be recorded in a Google Spreadsheet and several other sheets are also provided that will automatically disaggregate and aggregate the data based upon teacher, teacher standards, observer and more.//

Feel free to modify to fit your district's standards. All data will be recorded in a Google Spreadsheet and a second sheet has been created to quickly printout the results for the teachers and your records. Simply use the "hide column(s)" function in Excel to only show the specific teacher you want a printout for. //
