Purpose of Peer Teaching Observations

...

Once the four steps listed above are completed, the peer observation committee is responsible for writing up a comprehensive assessment of their peer teaching review. These reports should cover the instructor’s presentation, course content, organization, clarity of written materials, rigor and fairness of written examinations, appropriateness of methodology, and student outcomes. In order to ensure that these peer teaching observations can be used for our University’s promotion process, they must include the following information:

Each peer observation report must be written by the faculty peer observer and is to include:

• Number and title of courses observed course(s)
• Date of report(s)

• Description of methods by which instructor engages students in learning
• Date on which the observation(s) was discussed with the candidate
