How to Get the Most Out of Teaching Observations

This half-day workshop aims to provide support for any staff involved in teaching observations. The workshop includes presentations from the tutor and group based activities. After the session participants should be able to:

  • Review the University requirement for teaching observations
  • Review the different methods and approaches for teaching observation
  • Consider strategies to achieve maximum learning from observing someone else’s teaching
  • Identify good practice in providing useful feedback to a fellow teacher
  • Consider strategies to achieve maximum learning from what has been observed

Level 2: for new teaching staff and those with experience in teaching wishing to review their practice.

Ideally new staff will have already attended an introductory session prior to this course e.g. ‘An Introduction to Learning and Teaching’, ‘What is Good in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education?’ or PCAP sessions.
