Education is becoming more collaborative, including the ways teachers improve their teaching. Prepared with tools for giving feedback, peer observers can provide unique and non-threatening insights to one’s teaching techniques and style. Through the Teaching Observation Program (TOP), UCSF faculty can pair up for peer assessment of teaching in real-life settings. This workshop introduces the essential elements of effective feedback, and provides an opportunity for participants to hone their own observation, evaluation and feedback skills.
At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
Describe the elements of effective feedback
Describe the TOP (Teaching Observation Program) process: Preparation, Observation/Evaluation and Feedback
Observe a teaching session and compose feedback for a peer instructor
Effectively deliver feedback to a peer instructor
Promote a culture that includes peer feedback as an accepted and routine aspect of teaching
During this workshop, participants will:
Brainstorm about benefits and challenges of giving and receiving peer feedback
Role-play feedback in pairs
