Marzano Observation and Feedback Protocol

Building on the Art and Science of Teaching framework, the Marzano Observation and Feedback Protocol incorporates Dr. Robert Marzano's most current research around the use of research-based strategies within the context of appropriate lesson segments to produce the greatest gains in student learning. Lesson segments organize the instructional design questions into categories to provide a framework for observing classroom instruction.

  • Marzano Observation and Feedback Protocol identifies the segments of a lesson and the appropriate instructional strategies for that segment
  • Observers gauge what is happening in the classroom environment first to identify the lesson segment, which then reveals the appropriate instructional strategies
  • Framework helps focus observers on effective teaching rather than a simple checklist of present/nonpresent behaviors
  • Common model or language of instruction is established across the district in e very classroom
  • Feedback from supervisors, mentor teachers, teacher leaders, instructional coaches, teacher self reflections, and students inform a comprehensive profile of teachers' impact on student achievement
  • iObservation facilitates this dynamic process to provide ease and convenience for observers
