Summative Peer Review of Teaching Workshop Series

Abstract
This workshop will help faculty members involved in the design of the summative peer review of teaching form to identify the qualities and evidence to look for as indicators of good quality teaching. Participants will not only discuss their expectations of teaching within discipline, but will also discuss about standards in peer review of teaching.

Please note that this is NOT the compulsory workshop for reviewer, but is a workshop designed for faculty members involved in the adaptation of the summative peer review of teaching form provided in the senate report.

Abstract
This workshop is compulsory for all University of Hong Kong staff members who are in their faculty’s summative peer review panel and will act as peer reviewers. This workshop will help participants understand the role of a summative peer reviewer and good practices in professional teaching observations in summative peer review. Participants will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in applying standards and qualities of good teaching and in providing constructive feedback. To make the most out of the workshop, all participants are encouraged to obtain a copy of the Summative Peer Review of Teaching Form from their own faculty before the workshop, as they will be asked to complete a pre-workshop activity. This activity requires them to watch a video and conduct a mock teaching observation using the Summative Peer Review of Teaching Form.

Abstract
As a key component in the continuous improvement of teaching practices, formative peer review allows educators to provide and receive constructive feedback, share insights, and collaborate on refining their teaching strategies, which will help prepare them for summative peer review of teaching. The purpose of this workshop is to equip teachers with the skills and strategies necessary to engage in productive peer dialogue for formative peer review of teaching. Participants will learn how to structure and facilitate informal peer conversations by establishing a safe and supportive environment, and creating actionable plans for improvement.
