Peer Observation to Enhance your Teaching – in a classroom or online
Length of Session: Two hours workshop plus online preparation.
Explore how Collaborative Observation can help you develop your skills and confidence for teaching both in the classroom and online.
The workshop can be adapted for particular team needs, so let us know if you would like to arrange this as a Team Workshop.
What staff need(s) will the workshop meet?
I’d like to pick up new ideas from watching others teach using online technologies and tools.
I’d like some help to develop my own online teaching approach, and to help with some of the challenges I have faced.
I’ve got peer observation coming up – how can I get the most benefit from the experience?
Through this you will...
• explore good observation practice as reflected in the literature
• discuss practicalities of undertaking observation in online contexts and classrooms
• identify your own development interests and needs and prepare to take part in collaborative observation
• consider how observation might form the basis for Action Plans for change
