Reflection (to be completed after discussion of Peer Review with colleague): e.g. how did you feel about
conducting a formal observation? How did your colleague feel about being observed? How did you feel
about discussing your observations with your colleague after the lesson? How did your colleague react to
your assessment? Did she agree with your evaluation? Which of the suggestions you made will your
colleague apply in her next lesson? Do you and your colleague feel that this was a valuable experience?
Why/Why not?

Its not the first time that I do a formal observation, when I observe my friend Shamsa she was confident
from what she will teach the students. When she finishes her lesson, I tell her what she must improve in the
next time, and she was listening to me. And she was agreeing with my evaluation. I tell her that in her next
lesson she should to work with time management and put alarm for each center. This experience it’s a
valuable because each one will learn from her friend. If she notices that her friend does something not good
in her lesson and told her. Her friend will thankful because she will help her to improve.

Please share feedback immediately following the observation once the forms are completed.
