Classroom observation only.  College students and alternative certification candidates only.
 
Requests received prior to January 27, 2025 will receive a response beginning January 20, 2025.

Please include a copy of your syllabus or assignment to document your need for classroom observation. Three to five business days after submitting the form during the observation window, you will receive a letter via email verifying your clearance through a background check. If the background check reveals a felony arrest or other information that negates the clearance to observe, the GISD investigator will contact you to discuss the information. 

Once you hold the letter of verification sent via email, you are responsible for contacting the principal at each campus where you wish to observe to request permission. It will be necessary to present your letter to the office upon arrival at each campus. A map with addresses and phone numbers for each campus is available for pick up in the Garland ISD Human Resources Office and on the Garland ISD website.

Please note the observation window for each semester is subject to change, based on campus discretion. Adherence to this timeline will assist us in accommodating your requests to observe during the best time for teachers and students.
