Reflections of a New Teacher - Peer Supervision in Teacher Development

Evelyn Yee Fun MAN

Abstract

Peer supervision developed as a structured system for observing and conferring with teachers can be an important and useful tool for new teachers' professional development. This paper, written in the form of a journal, uses narrative to trace a novice teacher's personal and professional growth as she reflects on her experience of being observed and supervised by more experienced peers. The integration of "context-based", "people-based" and "process-based" factors in her experience serves to illustrate some of the basic principles of structured and successful peer supervision.
Keywords: Peer Supervision; Teacher Development
