ELEOT is a learner-centered classroom observation tool comprised of 30 items organized in seven environments aligned with the AdvancED Standards and Indicators and based on the most current research on effective learning.  ELEOT was developed by an internal and external group of educators who examined research related to effective classrooms as well as different measures of effective teacher practices.
To me, a lot of the components seem to be the same as our current observation tool, but ELEOT is more student centered and focuses more on what the students are doing during the observation as opposed to the teacher.  The observer has more detailed items that they are looking for within the 20+ minute observation.  Also, ELEOT provides a picture of classrooms across an entire school but can also be used with a grade level, in content-specific ways, longitudinally for a specific classroom, or in other ways depending on the needs of the user.  To me, this seems to be a more effective and comprehensive measure for our schools than our current measurement tool.

ELEOT is student centered...student engagement...when administrators (or other stack-holders) walk in to complete an ELEOT walkthrough they are looking at what the students are doing, how they are interacting with each other, how engaged are they, and how are they engaged (technology).  ELEOT gives an over all picture of the classroom and school level of student engagement.  Other observations, such as TKES, has the majority of focus on the teacher, and how the teacher is planning, teaching, and assessing.

ELEOT is a tool that allows the observer to identify evidence in the classroom that is conducive for student learning. ELEOT is a school improvement resources that provides data that will guide teachers towards creating the most optimal learning environment for our students. It measures the learners engagement in activities in the classroom and ways the learner demonstrates their knowledge of the content being taught. This tool differs from other observation tools because it is heavily student centered rather than teacher centered. The reliability and validity of this classroom tool across subject areas and grade levels school wide.

Key Differences:
ELEOT:  Focuses on students' experiences.
TKES:  Focuses on teacher's performances.
ELEOT:  7 student centered areas with 30 items
TKES:  3 components with 10 standards
ELEOT:  Purpose/Goal - to identify observable evidence of classroom environments that are conducive to learning; to create the most optimal environment in which students learn.
TKES:  Purpose/Goal - to support continuous growth and development of the teachers.
ELEOT:  not individual classroom data
TKES: individual teacher data

# data[].attributes.body
ELEOT to me focuses on the enviroment of the school/classroom and to what degree the enviroment is encouraging student learning and to what degree students are participating in the learning. TKES and other teacher effectiveness measurements have a focus on the teacher - how well did the teacher prepare, did the teacher use data to drive the instruction etc.

# data[].attributes.body
ELEOT covers 30 items under 7 categories that focus on student centered areas. The 7 environments include Equitable Learning, High Expectations, Supportive Learning Environment, Active Learning Environment, Progress Monitoring and Feedback, Well Managed Environment and Digital Learning Environment. It is based on Marzano's research as well as Danielson's and the CLASS tools. ELEOT has a .94 reliability and is considered reliable, valid and structured. It provides observable evidence of environments that are conducive to learning. Ratings range from a 4 which is very evident to 1 which is not observed. I am attaching a short article I found that gives additional information.

ELEOT is a student centered observation tool. The purpose of the tool is to focus on student learning that creates a supportive, positive, equitable learning environment with high yet achievable student expectations. It holds the teacher accountable to create an environment that encourages positive student learning. Unlike TKES, which focuses more on the teacher's planning and implementation of the lesson, ELEOT looks for observable evidence of student engagement.

# data[].attributes.headline
Eleot is a tool used to determine whether or not a classroom and/or school environment allows for optimal learning to occur.  Instead of focusing on evaluating what the teacher is doing, it looks over the high expectations set by the teacher and whether or not students have bought-in to those expectations.  This evaluation method delves into student engagement, understanding, and practice of learning strategies which encourage independent growth and goal attainment.  In this model, we're creating an environment where students are encouraged to reach for goals that are challenging, but not out of reach.  Student differences are celebrated and collaboration is encouraged.

Of course teachers must have content knowledge, plan/prepare lessons for students of various abilities and learning styles, assess the learning of students (before, during, and after units of study), and communicate effectively with stakeholders.  Do good teachers spend excessive amounts of time planning/getting ready for upcoming lessons?  Yes!  Some more than others, but if this isn’t carried out well, even those that spend the most time planning or those that have the best looking lesson plans fall short for the most important people in the classroom- the students.

ELEOT is the first observation tool I have seen that takes the focus off of what the teacher does and places more focus on the learners and the classroom environment.  Do students feel comfortable asking questions? How are mistakes handled?  Are differences accepted?  Do students work together collaboratively?  Are goals being set?  To me, these are the more important questions.  Does this mean that teachers don’t have to have content knowledge, plan/prepare lessons for students, assess student learning, or communicate with stakeholders?  Of course not…a teacher’s work is never done.

TKES focuses on teacher effectiveness while ensuring that teachers are being rated consistently across the area.
ELEOT focuses on the learners as well as the environment.   ELEOT was developed by, Marzano and Danielson, people who have long developed evaluation instrument tools for teachers/classes. ELEOT also gives a more in depth snapshot of in the classroom environment.
However, they are both tools for collecting data to ensure that learning is taking place.

ELEOT is an observational tool that gathers information on student engagement in the use of digital tools and technology to assist them in becoming more successful lerners. There are seven areas that are observed. I like that ELEOT gives structured and quantifiable data to inform on the extent of student learning and engagement in tasks/activities. TKES focuses on the teachers and thier effectiveness in the classroom making sure that effective learning is going on in the classroom.

ELEOT is a student-centered classroom observation tool which is divided into seven descriptors of the classroom learning environment.  The tool evaluates the level at which the classroom is:  equitable, challenging, supportive, active, student-informed, well-managed, and technology driven.  There is some overlap between ELEOT and TKES.  For example, an equitable classroom would make use of effective differentiation strategies.  Both call for academically challenging environments.  A supportive classroom would translate into a positive learning environment. However, ELEOT strictly focuses on students and on that which can be observed in the classroom during a 20 minute visit by a trained evaluator.

Eleot is an observation tool that allows the simplest undersatnding of what goes on in a learing environment.  It takes into account the context of student learning - meaning the holisitc nature of the learning process for that classroom and a specific topic. This includes the expectations and support students encounter while leasrning.  This provides a little more visage for the observer as to avoid a static view of the classroom solely through teacher observation.

ELEOT is more student centered versus TKES is more teacher centered. ELEOT identifies 7 student centered areas within the classroom environment with 30 items. TKES is more teacher centered. Like making sure teachers are following the 10 standards. Whereas ELEOT focus more on student engagement, active learning, student conversations, and challenging but attainable activities. ELEOT is a 20 minute observation that focus on student experiences instead of teachers performance.

Eleot is a student centered evaluation tool that focuses on 7 different student environments. These environments focus heavily on how the environment of the classroom can be changed to benefit the student. That is not to say that TKES did not benefit the student, but this tool puts the student at the forefront of the discussion. In this way of evaluating, we are first considering the type of environment we want in our classroom before deciding how to accomplish that task whereas before we were considering what kind of teacher we wanted.

ELEOT is an observation tool that is student centered and focuses on the learning environment. There are 7 environments that are evaluated that are made up of 30 items. The tool looks at how students are participating  in the learning environment that the teacher has cultivated. One aspect of ELEOT that is troublesome, when used as an evaluation, is that is difficult to observe all of these items in 20 min observation sessions. It is difficult for the teacher to give evidence of things that weren't observed.
TEKES focuses more on the teacher and their ability to plan and implement effective lessons and doesn't take into account how the students respond to the lessons.

ELEOT is completely student-centered and focuses on student engagement rather than other observation tools, which may focus more on the teacher than the students. It takes several key things into account including how well the classroom environment is managed, how supportive the environment is and how comfortable students are with taking risks, how rigorous the material is and how equal the opportunities are, how engaged the students are in the lesson, if students are given feedback and allowed the chance to revise work based on that feedback, and how students can access to a digital learning environment. Tools such as TKES are great for looking at teacher professionalism and communication, and for measuring the teacher's effectiveness in the classroom. ELEOT is great because it focuses on the students and their engagement with structured and quantifiable data.
