Classroom/Lesson observations

The following statements are from the official document, approved by the Academic Board (March 30 2022)

Preamble

The Academic Board has approved a common process and a standardized form for lesson observation.

Lesson observation is an evaluation of the lesson delivery to ensure that programs and classes are delivered to achieve their intended learning outcomes.  

2    Process for conducting lesson observation

Lesson Observations

• Academic staff will be observed at least once per academic year by a designated Supervising Officer from the Academic Team.
  
  

• Observations focus on teaching quality, preparation for classes, and delivery of course content. Findings are recorded in the Lesson Observation Report.
  
  

• After the observation, the Supervising Officer will provide feedback to the academic staff, highlighting strengths and areas for improvement.
  
  

• The Chief Academic Officer will consolidate all Lesson Observation Reports and share relevant findings during the Academic Department Meeting.
  
  

• This process is designed to support continuous learning among academic staff and enhance teaching and learning.
  
  

Why this matters to students:
By observing and supporting academic staff, the College ensures that the quality of teaching remains high, so students benefit from well-prepared lessons and effective learning experiences.
