The lesson Monitoring form is key to the success of the classroom Monitoring within SchooliP. It is essential that the form is correct before any monitoring is performed. The form consists of a series of questions that are completed by the Observer either during the lesson or at a later time.
In order to commence with the classroom Monitoring we need to first generate the questions to be answered during these Monitoring. Along with setting up the lists of other information that is used in a staff review.
Schools can use more than one Monitoring form. The Monitoring Forms for your school will be added when your school is setup on SchooliP, however if you wish to create your own form, follow the instructions below.
NOTE: This is best done when all of the information has been added to the other sections, as this information is used to populate the form.
The Monitoring Forms that are currently on your system are shown. To preview a form, click on the magnifying glass icon to the right of the form. To edit a form, click on the form name or the pencil icon.
