Peer Observation teacher PEER Kentucky Department of Education Network
Supervisor’s Observation: To provide documentation and feedback to measure the effectiveness of a teacher’s professional practices within the classroom Peer Observation To provide feedback to teachers about teaching and learning PURPOSE To Improve Teaching and Learning Kentucky Department of Education Network
“Peer observations allow teachers to learn more about themselves: thus they become better teachers, bringing more knowledge to the classroom. When teachers learn from one another, they develop varied instructional techniques and new ideas.This results in more interesting teaching and more opportunities for students to grow.” Eric Moats “Opening Doors: Teacher Guided Observations” Educational Leadership Kentucky Department of Education Network
Benefits of Peer Observation • Effective peer observation allows both the observer and the teacher to: • Develop reflective practice • Share best teaching practices • Gain new ideas and fresh perspectives about teaching • Enhance skills • Improve the quality of the learning • experiences made available to • students Kentucky Department of Education Network
Peer Observation Cycle 1. Pre-Observation Protocol 2. Classroom Observation 3. Post-Observation Conferencing: Providing feedback that informs professional practices Kentucky Department of Education Network
Handout 2. 1. Together they discuss the lesson to be observed. Completes the pre-observation document. Teacher 3. • Watches a lesson. • Takes notes on ALL aspects of the lesson. • Organizes and records the notes into the observation instrument. • Gives a copy of the observation instrument to the teacher. • Analyzes the evidence against the evaluative criteria and levels of performance. 4.
