=== Observations of students completed by teachers ===
Teachers observe students throughout the day in the classroom. These observations can be informal or formal, and often involve the use of checklists, anecdotal notes, videos, interviews, written work, assessments, etc. By completing these observations, teachers can evaluate at what 'level' a student is understanding the lessons. Observations allow teachers to make necessary adaptations for the students in the classroom. These observations can also provide the foundation for strong relationships between teachers and students. When students have such relationships with teachers, they feel safer and more comfortable in the classroom and are more willing and eager to learn.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Jablon|first=Judy|date=2009|title=Taking it all in: Observation in the classroom|url=https://www.isbe.net/Documents_KIDSWebsiteResources/Taking%20it%20all%20in.pdf|journal=Teaching Young Children|volume=4|pages=24–27}}</ref> Through observations, teachers identify the most developmentally appropriate practices to implement in their classrooms.{{Cn|date=October 2023}} These encourage and promote healthier learning styles and positive classroom atmospheres.
