Engaging Classrooms Observation
What is Engaging Classrooms Observation?
The Engaging Classrooms Observation (ECO) was developed and validated to describe active learning observed in your classes. The instrument is distributed mid-semester and is used by you to improve your teaching. The data is confidential and will only be shared with you to use as a tool for improvement. However, should you want to share your results with others, you are welcome to.
Student Version
If you would like to examine your students’ perceptions of active learning in your face-to-face class, share the following Qualtrics link with your students. Again, we suggest sending the link mid-semester so you can use the results as formative feedback. Once administered and your students have had time to respond, email Chase Young at chaseyoung@shsu.edu, and he will send you a confidential report.

Once administered and your students have had time to respond, email Chase Young at chaseyoung@shsu.edu, and he will send you a confidential report.

Is there a version for peer-review?
If you would like to use the Engaging Classrooms Observations for the purpose of peer review, distribute the student version of ECO, get the results from Chase Young, set up a time to meet with a colleague, discuss the results, and collaborate on possible adjustments in the future.
If you have any questions, please send us an email at tlc@shsu.edu.
