Peer Observations
Observe, reflect, grow!
Take a chance!
We are establishing peer to peer observation opportunities.
Staff will have an opportunity to offer up their classes to others for observation purposes. During this time the learning goals are: the observer to gain perspective of the learning outside of their classroom, self reflection regarding ones own practices, and gaining new ideas.
* What is observed is confidential in regards to teacher behaviors and students.
* The only feedback that can be left is positive.
* The only conversation that can be had regarding the observation is about personal growth and the positive take aways.
Observers will be encouraged to observe- a SPED lesson (self contained or inclusion), one resource, one upper and one lower.
Judgement Free Zone
Here at Burbank, we all have something to offer. Remember, when joining in on this process you are focused on your own personal growth as an educator. As professionals, we can trust that we will all maintain confidentiality and respect for each others classroom. And the let's not forget the unintended benefits- students getting to know all of us with more exposure.
