Common use of Peer Observers Clause in Contracts

Peer Observers. Staff members may request that another member of the staff be part of the observation process, including any house or teacher leader, another administrator, or any qualified staff member, except the Superintendent or Assistant Superintendent of Schools. While staff members are encouraged to benefit from the skills and experience of other staff, the use of peer observers is entirely voluntary. It is also understood that information shared between a peer observer (as opposed to a supervisor or administrator) and a staff member will remain confidential and will not be used for evaluation purposes. Peer observation is entirely for instructional enhancement and professional growth.
