Raising our collective level of teaching and learning: The development of a certified peer observation process
Conference Tracks
About SoTL – Analysis, synthesis, reflection, and discussion
Abstract
Our university developed a certified peer observation process (CPO) with the idea of creating a community of learners where we learn from each other. Trained peer observers can help to reduce the level of subjectivity and bias so common in peer reviews of teaching to provide a more valuable, informed, evidence-based review. We will highlight the training process for CPOs and our continued efforts to calibrate among CPOs. This interactive workshop will discuss the overall CPO process, including training, our pre-observation conversations, the classroom or online observation, the post-observation conversations, the informal follow-up visit and implications for impacting the SoTL.
