Each peer observation report must be written by the faculty observer and include:
- Number and title of course(s) observed.
- Date of observation(s).
- Date of report(s).
- Date that the faculty observer discussed the peer observation report with the candidate.
- Description of methods used by the instructor to engage students in learning.
- If the peer observation was conducted in the window between spring 2020 and spring 2022, the observer must identify differences between the teaching modality normally used by the candidate and the teaching modality adopted due to COVID-19.
- Constructive advice from the observer to improve at least one aspect of the course (e.g., instructional interactions with students, assessment of student learning, content of materials, etc.).
- Candidate’s responsiveness and any specific improvement(s) linked to recommendations from previous peer observation reports.
- Summary of end-of-semester course evaluation results, including overall course and instructor ratings and student response rates. Feedback to the candidate regarding common concerns raised by students on previous course evaluations and recommendations to address those concerns.
