No problem at all. In fact teacher education courses like BScEd, BAEd, BEd have a component called 'micro teaching' wherein the trainee is observed by a team of experts. This is followed by a feedback session so that skills can be improved.
While a teaching degree is a mandatory qualification for school teaching, it is assumed that anyone with a Masters degree (and PhD) can teach at the college and univ level without any training on pedagogy. Formal or in-service training in teaching methods and methods like 'team teaching' can certainly benefit teachers at any level. Observation is a very good method of understanding where we stand.
I don't advocate using observation as some kind of spying for using as a threat to a teacher.
