Pineapple

What is a pineapple chart?

• Teachers willing to participate should sign up by putting their name, content area, room number, and topic of the day in the Pineapple Sharing Form

• When a teacher sees something on the chart they are interested in, they go to that classroom at the designated time, sit down in an out-of- the-way spot, and watch.

• If you want to be a kind person please fill out the Teacher/Program Feedback Form

​

• That’s it. No note-taking is required, no post-observation conference, no write-up. Just a visit. Visiting teachers can even grade papers or catch up on email if they want, paying closer attention when the moment calls for it, but getting work done in the meantime.

• Visiting teachers can stay for five minutes or a whole class period. The key word here is informal.
