Peer Observations - Spring 2008
Looking for some new teaching strategies?
Curious about how your peers structure class discussions, class presentations, lectures, collaborative teaching, using technology ?
Take advantage of the opportunity to observe and talk with faculty peers at SU.
Several faculty members have agreed to have you come in to observe their classroom environment and instruction. Please contact any faculty member on the linked list that you would like to observe to get his/her class schedule and arrange for a specific time to observe. A follow-up conversation between you and the faculty member you are observing is recommended.
If you have any questions, please contact MJ Fair or Alissa Packer.
