Peer Observation Schedule

As discussed in our Faculty Meeting, as a part of our PD this year, all classroom teachers will do one peer observation each 9 weeks. Remember to sign up for your first 9 Weeks peer observation on the Peer Observation Calendar. Following the observation you are asked to complete the reflection form (link is highlighted in yellow on the calendar and listed below). Be sure to email your "observee" in advance to coordinate. This is a silent observation only; there should be no conversing with the teacher or class during this time.
