Teaching Observations
If you didn't already know, we offer Teaching Observation for Faculty. This program is on hold at the moment while we undergo some restructuring. We appreciate your patience. If you would like to be added to a waitlist to be contacted when we have this program up and running, please contact us at ofdp@ucalgary.ca.
What participants of this program have to say about their experience:
Having a knowledgeable expert teacher observe my own teaching and provide feedback was immensely valuable. I felt validated in many of the things I am already doing, I was prompted to consider adding some new techniques to improve my learners' retention of concepts, and I left with some useful articles for further reading. I would encourage everyone, whether a new or an experienced teacher, to take advantage of this opportunity. I know it will help me take my teaching skills to the next level.
