Peer Observations
Faculty-to-faculty observations of teaching can be a useful way to get support, connect with colleagues, and improve skills.
They can also provide more helpful feedback on pedagogical effectiveness than student end-of-semester surveys.
All assistant professors are encouraged to get an observation at least once per year.
Resources for faculty who wish to be observed:
- Ask your department chair or school director, or faculty mentor, to recommend a colleague, and make the ask. Feel free to share resources on this site in your ask.
- If you can't locate someone in your home department or school, request a peer observation from an SDSU faculty member serving on our CTL Advisory Board.
