Description
Welcome to the CLT鈥檚 Peer Feedback and Teaching Retreat. The two days of sessions are dedicated to topics and support in engaging in peer feedback! Each session invites you to consider a different aspect of giving and/or receiving supportive development-centered feedback.
. Information about the retreat and individual sessions is described below.
Format
Depending on your availability and specific interests, you are welcome to attend individual sessions or the full suite of sessions. This dedicated time will allow you to think about the ways that you might engage in formative feedback from peers that can support and strengthen your teaching.
There are two types of sessions:
- Building Sessions (online): Each morning will consist of shorter sessions that invite you to build on your understanding of the various forms that peer review can take and how these forms may be helpful in your own teaching and course(s).
- Circle Workshops (in-person): The afternoon sessions are 2-hrs in length and provide an opportunity to engage in practices of formative peer feedback with fellow attendees. Attendees will be offered the opportunity to share their own teaching materials and/or teaching experiences with each other during the session.
Who should attend?
These sessions are intended to be a place of discussion and learning for those who are both new and familiar with peer feedback of teaching. This includes:
- Individual instructors seeking professional development based in peer development and formative peer evaluation, and/or seeking to connect with peers from across 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 interested in engaging in formative peer review
- Individuals who are taking on the role of reviewer as part of procedures in their individual Faculty
- Limited-term faculty who are seeking support in documenting their teaching effectiveness.
Goals
Participation may provide you with:

Peer Observation: What to Consider and Available Tools for In-Person and OnlinePeer review of teaching may include in-class observations and/or providing feedback on a variety of teaching artifacts and practices. Within this, there are many aspects of teaching that may be of interest. It is important to discuss and decide what it is you want your peer to observe or review (as the instructor) and how you might go about collecting information (as an observer). In this session, we will look at various dimensions of teaching that you may seek feedback on and some tools and strategies already available that might help when it comes time to collect and present data on your teaching. During the session, we will also review some of these differences and the approaches you may take to engage in the peer review process for online teaching. We will also briefly touch on some options for remote observations of teaching for face-to-face teaching. |
