Peer Feedback on Your Teaching
Overview
The purpose of this assignment is for the learners to see how their peers view their teaching proficiency. Colleagues can be a valuable source of information in terms of a learner’s ability to receive feedback on what is actually happening in his or her classroom. The student will be observed on at least two occasions. One of these will be a videotaped lesson. The learner’s partner in this assignment will complete the observation form. Learners should use the Classroom Observation Form as well as the Summary of Peer Feedback Form. Once the assignment has been completed, the learner should submit the Peer Feedback Form to the course. This assignment will allow the learner to receive feedback on his or her work in a personal manner from someone who understands the environment in which the learner is teaching.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competency and assessment criteria:
· Competency 1: Evaluate instruction for professional development.
. Evaluate feedback received from professional colleagues.
· Competency 2: Improve instruction and professional learning.
. Integrate feedback received from professional colleagues into the development of actions steps for improving instructional skills.
· Competency 3: Demonstrate the dispositions expected of a professional educator and self-directed learner.
. Reflect on the advantages and disadvantages of the peer observation as a tool to collaborate with other professionals to improve instruction.
Assignment Description
Use the Summary of Peer Feedback Form before the first peer visit so you know what will be expected as documentation of the observations by your peers.
In preparation for the visit, explain the feedback process and its context to your peer observer. Share your improvement goal and what you would like your observer to pay particular attention to throughout the lesson. Be sure your colleague understands that you will be asking for written feedback using the Classroom Observation Form. You do not need to submit a copy of the forms, but you will need to refer to them when you prepare your summary.
