• Critical incidents (Brookfield) – a vividly remembered event that is unplanned and unanticipated• Opportunities to examine and better understand what we do and how we do it in order to initiate change and improvement
• Clarify intentions: Lesson goals and objectives• Teaching strategy and procedures: What the instructor will do?• Student achievement: What the students will do to indicate success• Data to support self-assessment: What is important to the teacher?• Establish a positive, collaborative relationship between peers
• What am I doing?• Why am I doing what I do?• Is what I am doing effective?• How are the students responding to my teaching?• How can I improve what I am doing?
Role of the Facilitator• Set the groundwork for trust• Listen actively—seek clarification• Encourage reflection• Acknowledge the individual with
nonverbal responses • Comments should further the conversation—”Tell me more...”• Enhance conversation rather than offer opinions or ideas.
Role of the Observer• Observe the process—note any
deviation from role• Take notes for the individual to
share for review and reflection• Note any thought-provoking comments or critical moments• Note nonverbal or verbal behaviors• Constructive criticism is the law
“Significant, meaningful, and long-term positive change will
be achieved only when it comes as a decision from
within the individual . . . based on self-evaluation”
