Class observation

Customized feedback to advance your teaching

Partnering with a knowledgeable, supportive observer can be a great way to explore how learning is happening in your course. We’ll work collaboratively with you to understand your goals and plan an observation session to gather relevant information. Then we’ll identify evidence-based strategies you may want to try, and we’ll connect you with any additional resources you may need.

Benefits

  • Feedback from a teaching specialist outside of your department
  • New ideas about teaching and learning in your course
  • Connections to additional resources
