Video in Teacher Learning: Through Their Own Eyes

Laura Baecher

Video is the only feedback method that allows educators to view their teaching through their own eyes, yet many K-12 professionals have yet to reap the benefits of this powerful technology. This practical and comprehensive guide takes advantage of new methods and tools to capture teaching and learning and a broad base of current research to impact teacher thinking and actions. Written for instructional coaches, administrators, supervisors, and individual teachers, it includes  

• guidance on how to get started and how to engage in nonjudgmental and descriptive analysis
• scaffolding to counter anxiety and resistance, and to cultivate a growth mindset.
• chapters on specific contexts including developmental, evaluative, and problems of practice.
• guidance for observation in specific grade bands and for specific student populations.
• templates and links to videos for video analysis tasks, step-by-step process outlines, real-world vignettes and application questions.
