- Motion text
Sector Conference supports the use of lesson observation for professional development purposes. However, we condemn its widespread abuse as a tool of bullying, harassment and dismissal of lecturers.
Conference further rejects its misuse in disciplinary and capability procedures, and in selecting individuals for redundancy. Unofficial observations disguised as learning walks, open door unannounced or repeated observations are particularly pernicious and cause unacceptable stress.
Conference calls upon the FEC to:
1. reach national agreement with the AOC on lesson observation procedures in line with UCU policy and guidelines
2. fully support individuals and branches who take action where lesson observation UCU guidelines are flaunted.
