Abstract
Feedback is necessary to improve teaching performance. Anyone who has given a talk knows that self-assessment alone rarely helps improve future efforts. Structured, objective, and immediate feedback is essential to improve teaching. Peer observation and feedback, when done correctly, can meet this need. This chapter provides a practical observation framework, summarizes key aspects of systematic observation, and describes a simple method to give feedback to a colleague.
