Section 3 – Post-Visit Reflection

[to be completed by the Observee following written feedback in Section 2 and post-visit conversation]

Action plan: (to build on your reflections of the session and the observation feedback you received).

In the case of a formative observation visit, this form and its contents are the property of the Observee. In the case of a summative observation visit (ideally in the same term as a formative visit, to be able to gauge changes), the Observer should use this form, along with previous formative observations and the faculty member’s own reflections in discussion to help construct a formal letter speaking to the pedagogical practice of the faculty member.
