Show evidence of at least 1 peer observed teaching session in the 5 year cycle.

This may be from any teaching scenario (work based assessment, one–to-one or small group teach, presentation etc.) led by the FRT which has been observed by a colleague selected by the FRT as being someone who can give them appropriate feedback on their teaching.

Documentary evidence for a peer observed teaching session should inclue:

• Name and signature of observer
• place
• date 
• description of teaching scenario

The peer feedback may remain confidential between the observer and the observed. The purpose of the exercise is to look at ways to develop teaching skills, and it should not be seen as an assessment of teaching that must be passed. The FRT should discuss what aspects of their teaching they particularly wish feedback on before the observation, and time should be made available soon after the observation for a private discussion between the observer and the FRT.
