The student observer serves as a legitimate informant on the learning environment of the classroom and in collaboration with the faculty partner, encourages deep thinking on teaching and learning.<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/colleges.claremont.edu\/ctl\/observation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MULTI-CAMPUS PEER OBSERVATION PROGRAM<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>The Multi-Campus Peer Observation Program (MCTOP) supports faculty inviting another faculty member into their classroom to observe. In short, the program pays for both individuals (the observer and the person observed) to share a meal together to debrief the observation and the person who observes to receive an honorarium of $50 or $100 (depending on if the person observes one or two class meetings).<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/colleges.claremont.edu\/ctl\/services-2\/classroom-observations\/peer-observation-triad-program\/\">PEER OBSERVATION TRIAD PROGRAM<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>We are seeking faculty from across the Consortium to join our peer-observation program.
