Noncredit ESL Staff Development Opportunity: Peer Observation!

Have you ever wanted to peek into other teachers' classrooms and see how they do things? Could they have some strategies and ideas that you could be using? How do they handle classroom issues and problems? If you would like to take advantage of this opportunity, we will provide a sub to take your class for one hour while you observe a colleague. Or, you may prefer to observe outside of your regular teaching time and receive one hour of non-instructional pay. Participants will be responsible for coordinating with a peer in advance. If you would like the office to arrange a sub for you, we will need a week's notice. Please fill out the information below in order to submit your request to participate. You will be required to submit feedback on your experience after your observation via a post survey. We will be collecting this feedback so that we can evaluate the usefulness of this project at the end of the semester.
