Short Description

Peer observation, in which a library colleague observes an instruction session taught by another librarian and provides feedback, can be an excellent way to assess teaching skills. In this presentation, you will learn how three neighboring universities broke beyond their individual institutional walls to create a multi-university peer observation program. The process in which talents were combined to use peer observation in new and beneficial ways is described. Whether you are new to peer observation or are looking for ideas to leverage your own peer observation projects, please join us!
