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?

There many advantages of making peer observation. It’s given the observed to see what the student teacher can’t
see, it will develop the observer skills, it will she the student teacher the what is her area of development. While I
was observing my friend, she was more confident and ready for the lesson. I have learned that its boring to say one
positive word in the while lesson, it’s better to say a different word. Our views were almost the same. We I discuss
this with my friend, she was agreed with me and was thinking about other different words that she can use them.













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