Members of staff are invited to participate in this upcoming workshop being hosted by the Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) on the topic An Orientation to Peer Observation. This virtual session will be held on Friday, September 13, 2024 from 10 am to 12 noon. The discussion will be led by Dr Juliet Jones, Faculty Development Specialist, CETL.

Peer observation among faculty is a valuable tool that can be used to promote reflective practice and improve teaching effectiveness. Through peer observation, faculty can share best practices, provide feedback, and offer support to one another. In addition, peer observation can help identify areas where faculty need to improve their teaching. Peer observation and feedback can engender professional discussion, collaboration, teamwork, coaching, peer support and potentially transformative interdisciplinary exchange of ideas.

Upon completion of this workshop, participants will be able to:

-       examine the UWI-STA Peer Observation and Feedback Framework;

-       identify characteristics of effective peer observation;

-       explain the peer observation and feedback process;

-       compare peer observation instruments;

-       demonstrate effective feedback skills.
