2. Sample observation checklist Peer Observation Guidelines Designed by Jeannie Fernandez
Purpose: The purpose of this peer observation guideline is to obtain in a written way what is being done during the lesson.
This observation will be done by an English teacher colleague. Finally, the peer observation will be used to reflect on what
is being done about the students’ participation inside the classroom in an English lesson.
Research Questions: To reflect about the students’ participation, there are two questions to be answered during the
process of the research with the help and observation from a peer teacher. The questions are the following:
1. What do I expect from my students in my English class?
2. Who are the students that participate in my English class?
While you observe the lesson, please answer thoughtfully the following questions related to the teacher and the students
from 11th Grade.
