Peer-Educator Dialogues & Learning Session Observation

Peer-Educator Dialogues & Learning Session Observation

This is a collection of resources aimed at helping educators engage in a process of observation and feedback with fellow educators. This certainly isn't the only way of engaging in a peer-educator dialogue, but aims to be a start point for folks just getting started. There may be additional resources provided by your unit, so be sure to check there as well.

NOTE: these materials are intended to serve as a foundation for providing feedback, engaging in dialogue, and ultimately promoting lifelong learning and growth in educator practice. Any documentation of a peer-educator dialogue should be provided directly to [only] the instructor-educator.

Peer-Educator Dialogue Guide
A Peer-Educator Dialogue Guide is now available for MSU Educators who want to collaborate in bettering their educator practice through observation and dialogue with other educators (https://iteach.msu.edu/iteachmsu/groups/iteachmsu/stories/2393?param=post). If you'd like to print a copy of the Guide to complete, you can download a copy by clicking the attachment (.docx, 6.32MB) below. Note: this resource was adapted 1/2006 from Chism, N.V.N. (1999) Chapter 6: Classroom Observation, Peer Review of Teaching: A Sourcebook. Bolton, MA: Anker Publishing, by Angela R. Linse, Executive Director, Schreyer Institute for Teaching Excellence, Penn State.
Peer-Educator Dialogue Protocol
It is important to note that the peer-educator dialogue should be an iterative process of lifelong learning and practice improvement. These are tools aimed at helping educators learn with and from one another. How an instructor-educator utilizes or shares the feedback provided in through this dialogue process is completely up to them.
