TEA Observation Log

Document formal observations using the TEA Observation Log; informal observations should not be included in this log, even for the first in-person informal observation. Ensure that the formal observations recorded in this log include 45 minutes of in-person observation.

If a Student Teacher is in one district for both placements, there must be at least two formal observations in the first placement, and two in the second placement. If the Student Teacher is placed in two districts, then there will need to be three formal observations for the first placement and three for the second placement.        

• Collect each Student Teacher’s TEA ID # for use on TEA Observation Log (you’ll need yours also)

• Enter the Initial Contact date with the Student Teacher (this is somewhat duplicative, but it is required)

• Do not log informal observations

• Email completed log at the end of the semester to fieldexp@austin.utexas.edu and madeleine.cleveland@austin.utexas.edu
