Using observation of teaching to improve quality: finding your way through the muddle of competing conceptions, confusion of practice and mutually exclusive intentions

Using observation of teaching to improve quality: finding your way through the muddle of competing conceptions, confusion of practice and mutually exclusive intentions

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This paper begins by reviewing some of the different models of third-party observation of university teaching that can be found in the literature. Having analysed these, it argues that-if 'peer' is taken to indicate equality of status-only one is genuinely a model of peer-observation. It proposes an alternative categorisation of third-party observations of teaching dependant on who controls the information generated by the process. A preferred six-dimensional model based on control by the person being observed of the data-flow, and other procedural aspects, is presented and explored. Evaluative comments, by university teachers who have undertaken the process, are presented to illustrate the benefits of adopting this model.

On this page we are collecting resources for those who would like to engage in their own professional learning. While the intended audience is current K-12 educators, this page applies to anyone involved in youth education. In the following videos, we hope to provide concrete models for how a teacher could organize their own learning. These examples show how teachers can get what they need for their own students beyond what their own school and districts might offer. In particular, we focus on political learning, which is often simply not available, or else actively discouraged, by schools and districts. While these examples are located in major cities, San Jose, Los Angeles, and New York, these specific examples do not require large amounts of resources, simply a few colleagues, a place to gather, and maybe some food. For those who do not have local colleagues to learn with, teachers have turned to social media. We highlight in particular the work of EduColor as well as @ValeriaBrownEdu and her work with #cleartheair Here is a twitter thread we did to provide more background. Part 1. Part 2.
Grassroots professional learning in action

In this video, Mike Tinoco, an educator in San Jose, California and a nonviolence trainer with East Point Peace Academy speaks about how he started a critical friends group in the Bay Area. If you're in the area, you can join their group by visiting https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/sbcriticalfriends. Mike's contact information is at the end of the video. Here is the first video, but the full playlist can be found here.

Natalia Ortiz and Pam Segura from the New York Collective of Radical Educators (NYCORE) spoke to use about their Inquiry to Action Groups. ItAGs combine learning and action where people come together to learn about a specific topic and then plan and enact some kind of collective action based on that topic. For more information visit http://www.nycore.org/ or @NYCoRE3000

Natalia was also featured in The Pedagogy of Teacher Activism by Keith Catone which tells the stories of four teacher activists.

Stephanie Cariaga is a current assistant professor at Cal State Dominguez Hills and one of the founders of the People's Education Movement. Here she talks about their teacher inquiry groups and healing and wellness groups. Part of making the work of teachers sustainable is through taking care of their own social and emotional well-being.

The GBU podcast is a regular informal chat with a founder/ co-founder, finding out about their startup journey. Each episode is an honest and open conversation to unlock the good, the bad and the ugly (GBU... get it!!) in starting and growing a business. In the startup world, we all have good days, and we all have bad days, on those bad days, it can feel like the world has fallen out from under our feet.

The GBU podcast is here to celebrate successes and to champion failings. What didn't go according to plan in your journey, and what did you learn from it? Please share it with the GBU community here or with fellow startups in the comments below.
