• Personal experience
Observers
“There is a very real danger that when feedback is given by those with
no training it may only serve to give offence. Alternately, the observer
may feel obliged to make only positive comments, in which case the
whole exercise becomes a pointless act of mutual back-patting.”
Jill Cosh
ELT Journal Volume 53/1 January 1999 OUP
“By becoming a workshop leader, conference presenter, observer of
teachers, or any kind of teacher trainer, you are setting yourself a little
apart – not just from your new adult students of teaching, but also from
your colleagues, the teachers who have chosen not to become trainers.”
Tessa Woodward
www.teachingenglish.org.uk

Reflective Statement
Peer Observation Reflective Statement
Observer Name:
Observation date:
Record your thoughts and comments on the experience of observing. This
might include your impression of being an observer, examples of teaching
methods you might find useful in your own teaching.
Staff Development. What has this observation indicated for you as a focus for staff
development.
When completed keep a copy for your records and file a copy in the office for
reference only.
Feedback
• A very positive experience!
• I feel that this informal approach to peer observation has
positive repercussions as it takes the pressure off and
allows you to engage in a non-competitive atmosphere.
• I enjoyed it tremendously. Seeing other professionals work
can only be enriching. Peer observation ….allows the
teacher to do three things: to experience the lesson with
the students, to watch and learn from other teachers – this
includes everything from classroom management to
specific activities, and thus, most importantly, to reflect on
their own teaching practices, An entirely positive,
productive experience.
Staff development
• Rapid training slots
• Pre-sessional meetings
• In-sessional meetings
• Reading – Weekly News
• Materials development
• Action Research projects
• Conferences
Thanks any questions?

  • 5. Observers “There is a very real danger that when feedback is given by those with no training it may only serve to give offence. Alternately, the observer may feel obliged to make only positive comments, in which case the whole exercise becomes a pointless act of mutual back-patting.” Jill Cosh ELT Journal Volume 53/1 January 1999 OUP “By becoming a workshop leader, conference presenter, observer of teachers, or any kind of teacher trainer, you are setting yourself a little apart – not just from your new adult students of teaching, but also from your colleagues, the teachers who have chosen not to become trainers.” Tessa Woodward www.teachingenglish.org.uk

This might include your impression of being an observer, examples of teaching methods you might find useful in your own teaching. Staff Development. What has this observation indicated for you as a focus for staff development. When completed keep a copy for your records and file a copy in the office for reference only.
  • 10. Feedback • A very positive experience! • I feel that this informal approach to peer observation has positive repercussions as it takes the pressure off and allows you to engage in a non-competitive atmosphere. • I enjoyed it tremendously. Seeing other professionals work can only be enriching. Peer observation ….allows the teacher to do three things: to experience the lesson with the students, to watch and learn from other teachers – this includes everything from classroom management to specific activities, and thus, most importantly, to reflect on their own teaching practices, An entirely positive, productive experience.
  • 11. Staff development • Rapid training slots • Pre-sessional meetings • In-sessional meetings • Reading – Weekly News • Materials development • Action Research projects • Conferences
