=== Observations of teachers completed by other professionals ===
With an educational system, government officials set different academic standards that teachers are expected to follow as a guideline for developmentally appropriate instruction. Teachers are also observed by administrators to ensure that classroom environments are positive. One of the tools used by teachers is the Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS) tool. Informed by findings emerging from the use of this tool, "over 150 research studies prove that students in classrooms with high-CLASS scores have better academic and social outcomes."<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/version/178336659|title=Classroom assessment scoring system (CLASS) manual, toddler|last1=La Paro|first1=Karen M|last2=Hamre|first2=Bridget K|last3=Pianta|first3=Robert C|date=2012|publisher=Baltimore Paul H.
