A narrative of peer observation and review of librarian teaching often frames the process as a task reluctantly undertaken by all involved. This workshop-based presentation will help cultivate ways for attendees to refresh or revise their libraries' peer review of teaching practice. One avenue of this is learning from the observed librarian colleague through reflection, reframing, and actionable steps, and including both formative and summative assessment. More holistically building a partnership into the work of observation can restore symmetry to the process and benefit everyone, and perhaps make the process better.
Participants will: 1. define and value the different parts of labor among all the shareholders in the process of the peer observation of teaching. 2. construct a plan to synthesize and communicate their learning from the process of observation. 3. construct models that capture the value of different perspectives, skills, and approaches to teaching information literacy
