UCLA SMP Classroom Walk-Throughs Introduction

This process of teachers observing other teachers is very good, but the problems of rater reliability and observer bias are still there - when one says the behavior occurred was it some of the time, most of the time (some will use about half, other nearly all the time), or all the time. It takes too much training to get consistency.
We gather frequency and duration data using a software program called eCOVE Classroom Observation Software. Super easy to use and it's objective data.
