Observation visitations normally will be for periods of sixty (60) minutes; however, the period of time of an observation visitation may be shortened or lengthened by the mutual agreement of the unit member and the evaluators. Extemporaneous notes may be taken during the observation visitation. Evaluators should complete the evaluation forms during or immediately following the observation visitation. In that the purpose of evaluation is the improvement of instruction, positive instructional features observed during the observation visitation should receive as much, if not more, emphasis than negative features.
