Pre-observation form

To be filled in by the person being observed

Name of teacher

Name of observer

Date, time and venue of


session to be observed

Number of students

Level of students

Course title

Topic for the session

Context eg have you met the


students before, what format will the
teaching take, where does this session
fit with the rest of the course?

What are you aiming to do


in the session?

Is there anything specific


you would like feedback on?

How will you introduce the


observer to the students?
During the observation
The next stage is to undertake the observation itself. There are a
number of practical things for both peers to consider:

• How should you introduce your observer?


• You should proceed as normally as possible
• The emphasis should be on the teaching (and not on the content)
• The observer should take notes on the teaching

Again, there is a form to fill in to help with these processes. This time
the form should be filled in by the person doing the observation.

“ Watching other people


teach allows me to
become a student
once again and
reflect on my own
teaching from
the ‘other
side’’’
Observation form
To be filled in by the person doing the observing

What went well with the


session (eg structure,
activities, clarity, pace,
organisation, interaction,
body language, visual aids,
enthusiasm)?

Can you identify areas for


reflection and possible
improvement (as above)?

Do you have any


comments on specific
areas of focus identified
prior to observation?

What have you learnt that


you can use in your own
teaching?
After the observation
The final stage is to meet to discuss what you have learnt from the
process – this could take place immediately after the observation.
During this time you should use the observation form to offer feedback
on how teaching went. It’s important to keep this discussion positive
and constructive and to think about what you have learnt from the
process, whether as an observer or through the process of being
observed.

Peer observation of teaching is a developmental activity. The final form


to fill in will help you to reflect on how you might develop your teaching.
This should be filled in by the person who was doing the teaching.

“ I find it immensely valuable to be


able to watch and observe how other
people go about their teaching. It’s a
privilege to be invited”
Post observation form
To be filled in by the person being observed

Were there any differences/


similarities between your
views and those of your
observer?

Can you identify any areas


of good practice from the
teaching session?

What areas of development


can you identify from the
feedback and how do you
intend to address these?
