“To acquire knowledge, one must study; but to acquire wisdom, one must observe”

Marilyn Vos Savant

Observing other teachers is a valuable way to further professional development at any stage of your teaching career. Done properly, it can benefit both observer and observee by providing the opportunity for critical reflection of teaching issues in real time without the stress-factor of evaluation.

The talk starts with a poll about your experience of peer observation. You’ll also have the opportunity to share your feelings about observation in the live chat. This will lead to a summary of the potential benefits and drawbacks.

We will then present a model for peer observation, reflection and feedback. This includes identifying aims and focus for the observation; plus agreeing communication between observer and observee. We will discuss video as an alternative for live observation and introduce the British Council Teaching for Success MOOC as a source for this. You will choose an observation task and watch a condensed writing lesson, using video from the CPD week of the MOOC.

After the video, you will break out into chat rooms to discuss your reflections from the observation. Some of these will be shared with the whole audience. You will finish by watching a recorded reflection from the observed teacher to compare to your own thoughts.

Finally, the other opportunities afforded by the MOOC will be outlined, as a potential avenue for your own CPD.
