Teaching Observation and Reflection

This is not available in Spring 2013 and will be presented from academic year 2013-2014.

If you teach your own class or work as a TA, we will arrange for 2 classroom observations by PFF Fellows. You may also submit any formal teaching observation notes from colleagues or supervisors at institutions where you teach.

If you do not have opportunities to teach your own class or work as a TA, we will arrange for you to observe 2 selected classes and work with you to develop a reflective tool to learn from the process.

In all cases, we offer workshops on teaching observation and reflection to facilitate self and peer observation, and to help build understanding of how to use reflection to improve your design and facilitation of learning processes.
