About the webinar
Taking place over 45 minutes, this discussion will see presentations from Huma Riaz and Anastasia Nikulenko and will lead into a participant-led discussion around the issues raised in each of the two talks.
Huma Riaz - Rethinking peer observation
This interactive workshop will introduce participants to an effective peer observation design, through which teachers and observers can work together and reflect on their teaching behaviour.
Anastasia Nikulenko
This talk will look at peer-observations as a key element in teacher education. It will cover how we choose the focus for observations, how we group the teachers and make the schedule for observation, and what we do as pre- and post-observation activities.
