Peer instruction observation is a tool that allows College librarians to demonstrate the quality and effectiveness of library instruction and should be used as evidence for tenure and promotion packets. It is strongly recommended for College Libraries faculty members whose core responsibilities include instruction and who document instruction in their Faculty Activity Report (annual evaluation) or dossier for promotion and tenure.
Observations must be conducted by any full-time tenured library faculty member at The College of Charleston. It is recommended that the peer observer have instruction experience, but it is not required.
