marg24 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Hi, this is my first post on here so apologies if I have posted this in the wrong place!! I run a full time day care nursery and have been advised that it will be a good idea to implement peer observations!!! Not sure how staff are going to react to this but feel that it could be really beneficial! I was hoping for some advice or guidance from anyone who has peer observations at their setting! Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hali Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 hello and welcome to the forum. Peer obs can be tricky - i did it with my staff for EEL - spoke to all the staff and they prefered that they did not know who was observing them and fed back to me - then i fed back to the staff member - it did work well. Some of my settings i visit do them and right from the start have said staff will observe each other and feed back - and they are now used to that way of working - depends on how confident the team are i think - good luck let us know how you get on x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Well this is really spooky I'm in the process of putting together a short article about this! Hopefully it will be up on the site in a day or so. Welcome to the forum marg and thanks for making your first post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dublinbay Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 A warm welcome to the forum Marg24. We did peer observations on each other quite a while ago with my manager saying it would be a regular occurance.........have never done it since!!! I preferred not to know when my colleague was observing me as it gave her a truer picture of my practice and I didn't feel under pressure. I welcomed the feedback although some staff may not for their own reasons. I hope it all goes well for you and that you let us know the outcome.
