Professional Collaborative Review

In the context of school self-evaluation, professional collaborative review of teaching and learning can take a number of forms. For example, it can take place in a team-teaching context where two teachers engage in collaborative planning for and teaching of a number of lessons. They subsequently reflect collaboratively on those lessons and specifically on the teaching and learning that took place. Alternatively, a teacher may invite a colleague to engage in professional review of a lesson or lessons. This may involve observing a lesson and subsequently discussing it in a reflective way. Another possibility might involve a group of colleagues gathering to discuss samples of student work and how the next steps in learning might be taken for the students involved.

See School Self-Evaluation Guidelinesfor further information on this tool.
