The Instructional Peer Observation Program at Stanford School of Medicine is a partnership between the Teaching and Mentoring Academy and the Evaluation and Instructional Development department.  This program fosters a community of like-minded faculty who have come together to cultivate peer-coaching in the teaching environment. We provide effective coaching approaches, feedback tools, and evidence-based teaching strategies for various educational environments. Faculty of all levels are invited to participate in the program, engage in robust dialog, and create a community of practice, with the ultimate goal of strengthening teaching.

Any faculty member may participate. No training is required to have your teaching session observed.  Faculty who wish to observe their peers must complete a short workshop that covers how to apply the IPOP feedback rubrics. Upcoming times are listed below; there is also an asynchronous option for those unable to attend. 

Please reach out directly if you would like to join our community! Begin by completing a short interest form here.  This will ensure that we include you in future events and communications.

If you would like one of your teaching sessions observed, please complete the interest form above, then complete the steps listed in the accordion below:
