Peer ObservationsESTYN are putting high value on the use of Peer Observations as a way of sharing Best Practice.

I would encourage everyone to participate in a peer observation however this is not compulsory.

If you would like to take part, please try to observe a colleague outside of your normal subject area.

Cover will be provided if available.

Notification of completed Observation should be sent to DC.

No formal responses are required only the date and period that the observation took place.
