The purpose of this protocol is to develop observational reliability between the observer and the observed. An underlying assumption is that no 2 people observing the same event will see the same thing, as the perceptions and prior experiences of each act as a filter. This protocol provides a way for the observed and the observer to discover what the other "sees" during the observation, and to help each learn to see as much as possible. Peer observation is never meant to be an evaluative process.
