Peer Observation Reservation Form
Peer Observation is the process through which a peer provides thoughtful, informed feedback to a colleague for the purpose of enhancing the quality of that individual’s classroom instruction. Peer Observations consist of a pre-observation meeting, a classroom observation, a conversation between your students and the Peer Observer (PO) during the last ten minutes of the class, and a post-observation meeting. After the final meeting, the PO will delete all information from their computer. Further, neither CELT nor anyone else will be privy to the conversations regarding the process. Faculty members are never paired with a PO from their own department, and, ideally, with someone from a different school. This ensures that the content of the class is a non-issue and increases the degree of confidentiality. We now offer the opportunity to discuss pedagogy-related Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and/or Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) issues with your Peer Observer.
