Each program participant will be observed at least once per term. Observations are recorded in the appropriate observation tab on the bottom of the checklist. The TDC evaluator or mentor (depending on the type of the observation) will record the scores for the scholar for each of the ten teacher standards, making comments for each standard. Within a week or so of the observation, the observer will meet with the scholar to discuss the observation add comments, sign and date the observation
