What is POT for?
Among other things, peer observation of teaching allows both peer observer and 'observee' to:
- Develop their own reflective practice;
- Share good teaching practices;
- Gain new ideas and fresh perspectives about teaching;
- Enhance their own teaching skills;
- Improve the quality of the learning experiences made available to students;
Peer observation of teaching may also:
- Raise the profile of teaching and learning within your department;
- Enable departments to demonstrate a commitment to enhancing teaching quality for external evaluation processes
- Developmental peer observation should not be confused with observation of teaching for assessment and evaluation.
