Tech - Tool Classroom Observations
Teach Tool Guidelines-2024-25
Background: The Government of
Andhra Pradesh, in collaboration with the World Bank, has
adopted
the
Supporting
Andhra’s Learning Transformation (SALT) program to achieve quality education.
One of
the key goals of SALT is to improve teaching practices using the Teach tool, a standardised classroom observation tool. This initiative aims to enhance teaching-learning quality by providing transparent insights into student-teacher interactions statewide.
Teachers will receive consistent support from mentors who
will observe classrooms using the Teach tool, focusing on time
spent on teaching-learning and the quality of teaching practices.
The quality of teaching practices is assessed based on three main indicators:
1. Classroom Culture: Creating a joyful and supportive learning environment.
2. Classroom Instruction: Effectiveness of lesson delivery.
3. Social-Emotional
Learning: Integrating
children's
well-being and 21st- century skills into
lessons.
Andhra Pradesh is the only state
in India to take the
initiative of standardized classroom observation at a large scale, with a capacity of 16,156 Teach certified observers reaching out to 100% teachers in the state. These observers
include Cluster Resource Persons, Upper Primary HMs, High School HMs, Complex HMs, and SGTs on the Teach tool
in three phases. The training involved a rigorous 9-day program followed by a certification exam.
Of these, 6,657 observers conducted 146,504 classroom observations for 48,447 teachers in the AY 23-24. The observation data shows that
the teaching quality improved, with the
performance gap of teachers decreasing by 8%. Previous academic year’s data shows that the teachers scored 3.2/5 compared to 2.8/5 at baseline. (Ref:
10000 classroom observations that happened in the AY
22-23)
Classroom Observations using the Teach tool for the current academic Year 2024-25:
Classroom observations for this academic year
will begin from August12th,2024 onwards and will be throughout till the end of this academic year.
This year, 16,154 certified observers will be conducting the observations using the standardized Teach tool.

The installation and login process will be shared with all the observers before the observations begin. Virtual orientation will be conducted on updated app during second week of August 2024 in the virtual mode
