A vey interesting topic, presented here. I always stress the importance of peer observation in the departments I work in. Unfortunately, too often it is used as a tool by the management to ‘assess’ teachers, without a clear focus on professional development, and this makes many colleagues wary of being observed, even by other teachers. Thank you Vicky for focusing on this topic. http://vickyloras.wordpress.com/2013/03/07/observe-and-be-observed-pd-in-focus-4/?blogsub=confirming#subscribe-blog
