A practice for individual and collective teaching professional development
Process
Phase C: Share with other teachers
The pairs of teachers explain their experience of peer observation, reflecting on aspects such as:
-
Was it difficult not to intervene in the classroom and focus on observing?
-
Was it difficult to be observed?
-
What have we learned?
-
Was it useful for:
-
Creating feelings of empathy, personal and mutual trust?
-
Getting to know the talents of colleagues, getting to know others?
-
Having examples of practices from others that enrich me?
-
Reflecting on one's own practice based on the analysis of the practice of other teachers, getting to know myself more?
-
Being more aware of my partner's way of teaching and realizing both the points we have in common and those we do not share?
-
Focusing on some aspects of improvement of one’s own practice and initiating changes?
-
Fostering a collaborative culture between teachers, the desire to prepare materials and sessions together, sharing results?

-
Which difficulties have we detected and how have we overcome them?
-
What would you change about this peer observation experience if you were to do it again?

These evaluations can be collected for the annual report and be shared with the rest of the faculty or in other spaces for the exchange of experiences.
