Peer Classroom Observation

Peer Classroom Observation is described in the Faculty Manual and Faculty Senate Resolutions as the approved process for direct observation of teaching at ECU.  Observation of teaching is required for all tenure-track faculty, and some other faculty. It is recommended for all faculty. Observers should use the university-approved observation instruments and policies, unless units have been approved to use modified instruments or policies.

Peer Observation Training

 

Asynchronous Training

A self-paced online version of the Peer Classroom Observation training is available in Canvas. However, the training is under revision to reflect the new Peer Review Instruments. We expect the new version of the Peer Observation training to be completed in the Fall of 2024. If you have an urgent need to complete the training, please contact the Office for Faculty Excellence (ofe@ecu.edu) or Sarah Williams (williamssar@ecu.edu) and you can be added to the Canvas course.

Trained Observers (By College)

Only faculty who have attended training sessions are approved to serve as observers.  Units may specify additional requirements for observers.
