Checklists
A checklist contains a list of different features of a lesson, which you complete while observing a lesson. Checklists provide a clear focus for observation

Seating charts
Seating charts showing the arrangement of desks in the classroom as well as the position the teacher normally teaches from, can also be used to code such things as the number of times students ask the teacher a question or vice versa, and the number of times a student asks other students questions

Field notes
These consist of brief descriptions in note form of key events that occurred throughout the lesson. They can provide a summary of the lesson as a whole, or can be time-based (e.g., every five minutes). For example:

Narrative summary
A narrative summary is a written summary of the lesson that tries to capture the main things that happened during the course of it, such as how the lesson opened, the sequence of activities that occurred, how the teacher introduced each activity, and so on. The account should contain as much information as possible but should not contain any evaluation of the lesson.
