You also need to be familiar with the structure of the Kentucky Adapted Framework for Teaching. The videos and activities within the modules require you to have a working knowledge of the Framework and its domains. Module 1: Overview and Expectations -- The first module focuses on the purpose and importance of peer observation and what is expected of peer observers. The module also describes the peer observation process and how it differs from supervisor observations. Module 2: Identifying Effective Teaching Through Observation -- The second module focuses on the observation process, including examples of scripting evidence and identifying bias. You will have multiple opportunities to practice determining and scripting evidence, so you will want to have a copy of the Kentucky Framework for Teaching on hand to refer to. You will only need Domains 2 and 3 of the Framework. Module 3: Feedback -- In Module 1 you learned about the roles and responsibilities of a peer observer. Module 2 allowed you to develop the skills needed to complete an observation and script evidence free from bias and interpretation. Module 3 focuses on the characteristics of effective feedback and how to determine the next steps after feedback is given. -->>TPGES Tools for Coaches |
