Feedback A very positive experience! I feel that this informal approach to peer observation has positive repercussions as it takes the pressure off and allows you to engage in a non-competitive atmosphere. I enjoyed it tremendously. Seeing other professionals work can only be enriching. Peer observation .allows the teacher to do three things: to experience the lesson with the students, to watch and learn from other teachers this includes everything from classroom management to specific activities, and thus, most importantly, to reflect on their own teaching practices, An entirely positive, productive experience.
