The Office of Faculty and Instructional Development (OFID) offered numerous workshops covering a wide range of topics including teaching methodologies, assessment and technology. To encourage faculty members to fully benefit from their involvement in PD activities, OFID initiated Partners for Improved Teaching and Learning, a peer observation program designed to support faculty members in their effort to continuously improve their pedagogical skills. The purpose of the program is to provide an opportunity for faculty peers to hold reflective conversations about teaching.
The process involved in Partners for Improved Teaching and Learning is rather simple. There are initially 4 stages in the program (see figure below).
