Peer Observation Process for Professional Development

Overview

The Faculty Development Center has created the Classroom Peer Observation Process for Professional Development (POPPD) to provide guidance for voluntary peer faculty observations. It is not intended to replace any required classroom observations for evaluation purposes. See your Department Personnel Standards and/or Department Standards for Lecturer Faculty for applicable guidance with regard to required classroom observations.

The Classroom Peer Observation Process for Professional Development (POPPD) was primarily adapted from the Critical Teaching Behaviors Framework Observation Report (Barbeau & Happel, 2020), designed by Lauren Barbeau and Claudia Cornejo Happel. Please consider reviewing their Critical Teaching Behaviors document for additional ideas in your observation.
