Task 4.2
How would you as a teacher trainer introduce the peer lesson observation?
Most of the time we have to consider the purpose of peer observation if it is to
be used for summative purposes, training peer observers is necessary. It helps
them focus on specific criteria essential to completing a reliable and valid
observation. Training can be completed in a meeting or via a training videotape. A
training manual can also be helpful in these cases.
• Which observation tasks could be interesting for your trainees?
I think that pre-observation meeting, description of students , class topic, Goals for
session, , methods, assestment tools, Instructor concerns, post-observation, date,
time, location and objective for the session, teaching strategies.
Begins class promptly and in a well-organized way.Treats students with respect
and caring about them as a students and as persons. This also provides clear
explanations. it holds attention and respect of students, and it practices effective
classroom management. It Uses active, hands-on student learning.Varies his/her
instructional technique. It Provides clear, specific expectations for
assignments.Provides frequent and immediate feedback to students on their
performance.
The teacher has a sense of humor! He uses nonverbal behavior, such as gestures,
walking around, and eye contact to reinforce his/her comments. And also he
presents him/herself in class as "real people. He "Focuses on the class objective
and does not let class get sidetracked and uses feedback from students (and
others) to assess and improve teaching.
