The attention of all the Regional Joint Directors, District Educational
Officers & Additional Project Coordinators of Samagra Shiksha in the State
are hereby informed that the Department of School Education is implementing
the Supporting Andhra’s Learning Transformation (SALT) program in
collaboration with the World Bank to achieve the state's vision of quality
education.
In alignment with the above recommendations, one of SALT’s goals is also to improve teaching practices measured according to a standardized classroom
observation tool, which is the Teach tool. This means that teachers will be
provided with consistent classroom support through teacher mentors who will
observe the classroom using the Teach tool.
The Teach tool is a comprehensive classroom observation tool developed by
the World Bank. The Teach Tool focuses on two main aspects, which are time
spent on teaching-learning and quality of teaching practices. Quality of
teaching practices has 3 main indicators; Classroom Culture, Classroom
Instruction and Social-Emotional Learning.
These areas consist of 9 elements, further corresponding to 28 behaviors.
During the observation process, these behaviors are assessed and categorized
as low, medium, or high based on the evidence collected. To quantify teaching
practices, these behavior scores are then converted into a 5-point scale.
This quantification is achieved through two segments of a 15-minute lesson
observation (each) during a 45-minute classroom session, capturing the
teaching practices in action.
