Design Principles for Accelerating Student Learning with High-Impact Tutoring (updated June 2024)
Category: Student Learning
Instrument Overview
COEMET is a classroom observation instrument that evaluates classroom culture and the use of specific math activities. It includes questions about how actively the teacher interacts with the children, how the teacher uses teachable math moments, how math is displayed in the physical environment of the room, how confident the teacher appears about math, etc. The specific math activities measured are not connected to a specific curriculum.
