Overall Observed Strengths Overall Suggestions for further development

(also include comments for the area of focus)
• Bashayer has a great way to manage the class time
• Bashayer used a positive reinforcement to get the
students motivated
(also include comments for the area of focus)
- She just need to be a little focused on the class
behavior
Reflection (to be completed after discussion of Peer Review with colleague): e.g. how did you feel about
conducting a formal observation? How did your colleague feel about being observed? How 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?

• Peer observations taught me a lot, watching someone while teaching and taking notes would help you to be
a great teacher. I watched bashayer teach and from that I learned some ideas of managing the lesson time.
Bashayer was a little nervous in the beginning but as soon as we start, she changed into the most confident
teacher. The feedback after the observation went well, we discussed what it has to be developed and she
was listening to me because she’s the kind that wants to take feedback to be a great teacher. There many
advantages of making peer observation. It gives the observer to see what the student teacher can’t see; it
will develop the observer skills.

Please share feedback immediately following the observation once the forms are completed.
