Part I in the Peer Observation Series:
Instructor peer observations can be an effective way to provide both formative and evaluative feedback to colleagues. Sometimes the peer observation process can be fraught with concerns. This workshop will provide observers with evidence-based resources and strategies for each phase of the peer observation process, including the pre-observation meeting, the observation, and the post-observation debrief. Workshop participants will learn about different methods for observing colleagues, as well as ways to mitigate for bias.
After participating in this workshop you will be able to:
- Identify best practices for each phase of the observation
- analyze observation models for opportunities and constraints
- create an observation plan to implement
EVENT FORMAT: This workshop will be held online on Zoom.
