M8 U1 Activity 1: Baseline Video and Reflection
Project Description
Overview Teachers and teacher candidates have found that observing themselves teaching and reflecting on the effectiveness of their teaching are powerful tools in improving their practice. In Module 8, you will submit a total of five 15-20 minute videos of your teaching that demonstrates that you are meeting the InTASC standards covered in the TEACH-NOW Clinical Rubric. In addition, you will submit a reflection on how you are meeting the standards in the video recorded lesson. Each of the video submissions requires a lesson plan (on the Teach-Now lesson plan template), a video recording of the lesson edited to 15 to 20 minutes, an in-depth reflection of what you learned by teaching the lesson, and an audio or video recording of a debriefing session with your mentor. You can do the debrief with your mentor in the Zoom room and upload the link with the rest of your assignment. Your instructor and mentor will evaluate your practice using the TEACH-NOW Clinical Rubric that can be downloaded from the Resources section of this activity. This week you will be recording a video based on Standard 1, Student Development, and discussing the role you as an educator play in student growth and development. Through this activity, you will become knowledgeable of one of the InTASC Standards. You will create a video that is an example of your best practice. Moreover, you will be contributing to an ongoing library of best practices that TEACH-NOW candidates will utilize in the future. Performance outcomes
Candidates record their teaching practice as a means of examining and reflecting upon their practice
Candidates understand how students grow and develop across the cognitive, linguistic, social, emotional, and physical areas
Candidates design and implement developmentally appropriate and challenging learning experiences in their classroom
Candidates assess their skills for designing and implementing developmentally appropriate and challenging learning experiences in their classroom
What will you do?
Review Standard 1 - Learner Development in the ‘TEACH-NOW Clinical Rubric’ and ‘Ways of Thinking about the Clinical Practice’ documents. Also, review the ‘Tips and Strategies for Clinical Practice Lesson Submissions’ in the Activity Resources.
Record a video of you teaching a lesson to your mentor’s or your own classroom based on the lesson plan you created in Module 7, addressing Standard 1, Student Development. This video will be used as a baseline video to compare all the other videos you submit during your clinical practice.
Edit your video to showcase 15-20 minutes of the highlights of your lesson, including the beginning of your lesson. Annotate the video (or write in a separate document with timestamps recorded) stating where the elements of InTASC Standard 1, Student Development are addressed. Describe or discuss your role in creating developmentally appropriate and challenging learning experiences for your students and meeting each student’s individual needs.
Write or record a reflection on the lesson (approximately 500 words or 3-5 minutes). Reflect on how each element of the lesson went and what you would do to change the lesson (if anything) if you were to teach the lesson again. If you feel you would need to reteach the concept, please mention that and tell what strategy(ies) you would use to reteach. Your reflection should be a deeper analysis of each aspect of the lesson instead of a simple recap of what happened. Include both what you did well and what needs improvement. If your video does not demonstrate how you met each element of Standard 1, discuss how you are meeting that element as part of your reflection. Note: If your instructor feels you need to demonstrate growth based on feedback, they may request that you resubmit videos later in the clinical portion of the program.
Record your debriefing session with your mentor (video or audio) and submit the link. See the example of a mentor/mentee debriefing in the Resource section of this activity. You may conduct the meeting in your Zoom classroom. Save the recording to post with the rest of your assignment. While an audio recording is permitted, a video recording is preferred.
Save your videos in the YouTube Video library by clicking on the Upload to YouTube button on the Submission page. Label each video appropriately to help your instructor find the relevant videos.
Report requirements
Edited and annotated video of your teaching based on Standard 1, Student Development
Lesson plan for the lesson taught in the video
Comprehensive reflection about how you demonstrated in the video that you met Standard 1, Student Development.
Video or audio of debriefing with your mentor
Notes Check with your school to see if video permission forms have already been collected. You do not need to send home video permission forms unless the school requires you to do so. In the US, many schools routinely send home such a permission form on the first-day information that goes home. Check to see if the form was included in that packet.
