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?

- The lesson was good and my colleague had a good knowledge about lesson. She transferred her
knowledge smoothly to the students. Also, I feel that she accepted about what I noticed and
what I think she need to develop them. Firstly, I have discussed with her about that she had to
supposed let students talk more because she was giving student information and explanation
without let them to find answer or solve questions. Another important thing that she was
talking very softly, even sometimes I couldn’t hear her. She noticed this point too and she will
try to fix it in next time. Finally, we have talked about the instructions of the activities that are
better are giving in front of whole class even if each group will do them own activity separate.
The experience it’s useful because give us a chance to look of both sides of our strengths and
weakness.
