in making the students more working in their

Reflection (to be completed after discussion of Peer Review with colleague): e.g. how did you
feel about conducting a formal observation? How did your colleague feel about being observed? How
did you feel about discussing your observations with your colleague after the lesson? How did your
colleague react to your assessment? Did she agree with your evaluation? Which of the suggestions you
made will your colleague apply in her next lesson? Do you and your colleague feel that this was a
valuable experience? Why/Why not?
It is really interesting to observe your colleague in the class to look at the methods that
she used in her class, and what is the strategies that she used for classroom management.
The feeling of my friend was good with a Little bit of stress because its the first time I
observe her, but everything was alright. I discuss with my colleague about the strengths
and some suggestions to improve her next class. My colleague was taking my suggestions
in nice way, and she wrote it them down to improve them. Even I was so agree with her
strategies when she gave the instructions and manage the students.
