How are peer observations scheduled?
Staff schedule their own peer observations. Connect with the person you'd like to observe, and connect with an administrator if assistance is needed with securing coverage.

Is Form 5 a stand-alone activity or is it part of an observation and/or meeting? For example, I am working with 8th grade S.S. on creating a unit using RCDC. If I want to use that for Form 5, do I have to set up a meeting or is it reviewed at the summative? (I feel like I'm struggling to form my question...)

It is a self-reflection on the lesson.  It is submitted with the portfolio in March.

I'm a long term sub, so my situation is unique, but can I use the RCDC that was left for me, and just make it my own?

Use the priority standards in RCDC to guide your lesson planning. You may use your own lessons, or the teacher's lessons, for your observation.

# data[].attributes.body
For peer observations- See Form 2 for required information; a new staff member who has already completed one suggested taking notes during the observation and using them to fill out the form later.  If you need coverage for an observation, that should be arranged in advance.  Be sure to connect with the staff member you want to observe to secure permission and set a date/time that works best.
