This lesson observation record is part of a classroom observation package. It was designed for the ASEAN-UK SAGE programme to study the teaching of Grade 2 Khmer language under the proof-of-concept project for Cambodia (Strengthening M&E capacity for foundational learning outcomes).

The package can assist researchers and practitioners to gather evidence of teaching practices for early grades reading.

It consists of a codebook, lesson observation record, teacher survey, observer manual and lesson videos. It was supported by a 9-day training programme.

The classroom observation tool uses time-event coding. Observers use the lesson observation record to record their observations against codes across 5-minute intervals. Both English and Khmer versions are in this document.

The package can be adapted and applied in low- and middle-income countries. It can be used by local observers (regardless of their teaching or observation experience), to consistently and reliably make observations.
