did you feel about discussing your observations with your colleague after the lesson? How did your
colleague react to your assessment? Did she agree with your evaluation? Which of the suggestions you
made will your colleague apply in her next lesson? Do you and your colleague feel that this was a
valuable experience? Why/Why not?
Feeling that I was a real teacher when I was observing my colleague Layla. She was little bit nervous
but as soon as she taught the lesson she got into the mode and forgot that she was in a formal
observation and she was very helpful with the children and when they had a question or a problem she
immediately answered them.
