Comments/Concerns
I have already been formally observed. I would like to know if I will continue to be observed. For example, today Dr.G, you came to observe me and I saw you taking notes, I did not want to interrupt you so I continued teaching. -Jerry
That is how I conduct walkthroughs, I go to rooms and take notes on my phone to debrief with you at a later time. I tell you what I noticed you did well and what you can improve on. -Galceran
