Mentor: As a mentor, I benefit from from making observations and the intent is for my mentees to be benefiting as well in a number of different ways. One of the benefits of observation is to prioritize what really are the issues to work on in a class. For me, I am always amazed at the creativity that new instructors bring. And so they bring this creativity to their teaching that is inspiring.
Rebecca Price shares how to develop ourselves and others through classroom observations on episode 458 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.
