Before we start How do you currently receive feedback on your practice?
How is feedback on your practice incorporated into your CPD?
If your practice ever been observed by a peer, what was the process and what were the positive/negatives of this?
If you have not had your practice observed, what is your initial reaction to this idea?

• A form of peer review within teaching practice where colleagues observe each other's practice to provide feedback and discussion that will promote reflection into the teaching and learning process.

Why do we need POT • the Observee and the Observer with the
opportunity to mutually enhance the quality of their teaching practice by identifying strengths and developmental needs.
• an opportunity to share good practice amongst colleagues by sharing thoughts and experiences on teaching practice and skills.• It also Promotes self-Confidence / Reflection• & as an evidence of quality assurance

A good beginning makes
A good ending

Process of POT
• Select an observer• Agree what will be observed/ commented on• Observation • Reflection • Feedback• (Follow up)
![Page 10: Peer observation of teaching ( mahdi) 2016](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012914/58ef97961a28ab8b3f8b4627/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Selecting the Observer• Friend Or ………? (how much confidence do you have)
• How much experience? (more or less than you)
• What qualities /skills should observer have?
• Unilateral or mutual approach? ( one way or two way observation ??)

Decide what will be observed / commented upon
• Ground rules (agree on a date, time, location, how big is the group,
type of lecture,/ any specific teaching method, particular strategies and
techniques/ observers’ role, where to sit / how to take notes / forms)
• General practice or Specific skills /behaviour
• How & when feedback will be given
• Any other Concerns?

2- The Observation: • Arrive in a good time( before the sessions), And decide
where to sit.• Explain to students that the observer is not here
to observe them • Observer takes no active role in the session
( shadow ghost), Record staff and student non-verbal Communication/ make a balance between Positive and Negative points. Check for whatwhohowwhy?
• How long should it last? ( whole session or one hour or…)

Weeks)• Private, Non-judgmental, Respectful,
Supportive but Challenging • Focus on the skill / behaviour not the person• Concentrate on Constructive Comments that
