Make sure you check the school calendar to be sure classes will be held during your observation time.

Sign up for an observation time slot

After you have chosen the class time, use the online form to reserve your spot.

PLEASE NOTE!  NEW STEP IN THE SIGN UP PROCEDURE! After you sign up for your preferred time slot, e-mail Kim Mougey with the time slot/period you signed up for and a list of three classes you would be willing to attend (rank ordered by your first, second, and third choice). Kim will assign you a class, and when you arrive for your observation, you will be told which class to attend. If you have questions about this procedure, please

Please remember:

  • You must register in order to observe classes.
  • You may not register for more than 3 observations in a day.
  • You may not change your schedule after Wednesday night for the next week. Read the instructions regarding cancelling or rescheduling an observation.
  • Friday is not the best day to observe, as the school schedule is often packed with activities, tests, and other experiences that are not ideal for classroom instruction/learning observations.  You can sign up for Friday, but it is NOT encouraged by the administration.  
  • Woodruff allows only a limited number of observations for C&I 212 student teacher candidates per semester.  IF YOU CANCEL YOUR OBSERVATION TIME,  please notify Kim Mougey so that an observation timeslot will not be counted against the total available for ISU each semester.
