1. Pre-observation conversation. It helps mentee to understand the purpose of observation. It will help to reduce the tension  and build up positive relationship between mentor and mentee.

1. an open class room concept in a collaberative learning culture.
Focusing and learn only the positive aspects of the lesson.
2. Sometimes it is quite difficult to find out room of improvement from our own observation, so personallly, I am quite acceptive towards feedbacks from my RO or peer's observations.

1) Punctuality - Be punctual so that mentee is more prepared to start off lesson with the presence of the mentor in class. Mentee can also inform class pupils about mentor's visit to class. This allows opportunity to establish contact and make class pupils comfortable. If mentor is late, it looks very invasive.
2) Review lesson (post conference) on the same day so as to give immediate response and it also signal to the mentee that he/she matters.

Mentee would observe mentor's lesson on specific learning points identified, discussion and apply in mentee's lesson through lesson observation.

Identify and recommend to mentee some other teacher's lesson(s) to observe that may meet mentee's needs.

Work on needs identified by mentee to build ownership in developmental growth.

1)By observing each other's lessons (need not be the same topic), my mentee & I picked up ideas from each other's lessons & developed on these ideas in our next lessons & showcased that in our next observation. Builds trust & spirit of learning together.
2)Focus on positive aspects. In fact, when my RO & VP observe my lessons, they also look at positive things first:)
3)Body language e.g. sitting side-by-side (i.e. same side of table) during pre- & post-conversations suggests that the 2 of us are learning together.
