PLUS Peer Observation Form
Purpose:
The purpose of the peer observation is to enable PALs and tutors to observe one another while simultaneously strengthening their own skills. As you observe your peers you should see some of the same skills you incorporate into your own sessions, while potentially gaining insight into other skills and techniques you may want to use. They will use different skills based on the type of session, the discipline being studied, and the needs of the group or tutees. Please keep in mind your peer’s session may look different than your own, and that this is an opportunity for you to gain some exposure to other methods.
Instructions:
- Keep this form open in a separate window, so you can watch Zoom and type (if online). Or open on a device for a live session. Answer each question in 1-2 sentences.
- We will pair you with someone you are not familiar with – it will make the experience more meaningful.
- Itemize the 50-minute observation on your biweekly log – choose one of your positions (tutor or PAL).
- Let the tutor or PAL leading the session know you are there, and if on Zoom, then turn your audio and video off as to not be distracting.
- Please give the tutor or PAL the same respect you would like during one of your own sessions.
- When you have completed the form, hit the Submit button.
