PARTICIPANTS WILL RECEIVE ZOOM JOINING INSTRUCTIONS 2 DAYS PRIOR TO THE EVENT

Within an institutional peer observation scheme it is important that colleagues are able to gain the maximum benefit from the process of both being observed and observing others in order to support their professional development as a university teacher. This session will be run by a member of the Surrey Institute of Education and will explore the processes of observation and feedback. The session leader and participants will share experiences of observation and feedback and discuss ways of maximising the benefits of engagement.

Learning outcomes:

• to distinguish the different models of teaching observations;

• to locate the peer observation policies of the university;

• to recognise the challenges of being observed and observing teachers in higher education;

• to practise giving and receiving feedback
