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?

Reem said ‘’ my lesson was perfect’’. I believe that her lesson was very good because she used different
strategies with her students. Reem felt confident when I observed her. After the lesson, Reem explain everything
for me about differentiation, activities, strategies, and positive reinforcements. Reem react by good way to my
assessment and she agree with my evaluation. Reem will apply my suggestions next lesson which are make rules
for students to follow them during the lesson, Reem should explain everything in the activity step by step, and it
is good to use whistle to stop them and clean up. This really valuable experience for me and for Reem because
we will learn from our mistakes and improve our skills next time.
