Finally, researchers wanted to know whether they would see any change in student achievement following the introduction
of video observations.
Teachers who
used video observations rated the observation process as more fair and more helpful than teachers in the traditional process.
Below is a three - step process that our team has seen work well for integrating
video observation in schools and districts around the country.
Video observation also helps district leaders by providing actionable intelligence to the organization at large.
If teacher - controlled
video observations help make evaluations more useful and convenient, there is great potential for evaluation to become less contentious overall.
Reduction in commands and increase in positive attends in the parent - child interaction as measured by independent before and
after video observation.
This toolkit provides practical guidance for education practitioners on
using video observations to help teachers accelerate their development.
Data was collected via computer - assisted personal interviewing, computer - assisted telephone interviewing,
coded video observation, cognitive assessment test, face - to - face interviews and questionnaires.
A robust new
video observation toolkit from Harvard helps address these challenges by suggesting ways of using video technology to rethink traditional approaches to teacher observation and professional development.
«For instance, many moms who breastsleep report, and this has been observed though nighttime
video observations as well, that they are not fully awake during these feedings.
The first formal study on this species, based on
remote video observation of reintroduced populations, indicates that the species has a complex system of interactions based on dominance.
A new toolkit from Harvard University's Center for Education Policy Research provides resources to help educators
leverage video observations in school communities to improve teacher practice and student learning.
Compared to teachers who received in - person observations, teachers who recorded and
submitted video observations reported that their post-observation conversations were less frequently adversarial.
For teachers and teacher leaders, self - reflection tools include steps to analyze instruction and a rubric for
assessing video observations.
The study included repeated waves of child assessment, parent surveys, semistructured interviews, participant observation, and
structured video observation of parent - child interaction.
Fortunately, there are many approaches that can work here:
Video observation exercises, classroom walk - throughs, and deliberate practice with effective coaching conversations can be implemented with some frequency.
The study team is also releasing a freely available toolkit with practical guidance for teachers and school leaders interested in
piloting video observations.
Across the study, more than half of
video observation work took place at less busy times of day, such as before and after school, during the lunch hour, or on holidays.
However, teachers» growth remains insignificant
unless video observation is accompanied by ongoing, supportive, and professional conversations with a colleague or supervisor, according to several studies reviewed in Joel K. Brame's 2004 dissertation on the topic.
A platform for
managing video observations and feedback that was fully integrated into their existing Canvas LMS for tracking and managing student assignments.
Day 1: 5 Dimensions of Teaching and Learning; 5D + Teacher Evaluation Rubric examples, Rater reliability protocol; Scripting and coding practices; Identifying evidence connected to 5D dimensions and 5D + indicators
using video observations.
Downloads from the toolkit include a variety of resources to help school leaders, teachers, teacher leaders, instructional coaches, and personal learning networks prepare for, launch, and evaluate the success of
video observations in school communities.
In the study, researchers at Dartmouth - Hitchcock Medical Center used
video observation to map patterns of anesthesia provider hand contact with anesthesia work environment surfaces to assess hand hygiene compliance.
Both video observation and in - person observation demonstrated longer hand cleaning times for hand washing with soap as compared to rubbing with sanitizer.
They are building a business based on the idea that
video observations can improve teaching.
When we surveyed teachers about their experience participating in our in - person and
video observations, I was not surprised that teachers who had used video technology reported having learned about their practice at a significantly higher rate than those participating in in - person observations alone.
See
the video observation toolkit from the Center for Education Policy Research for resources and guidance.
After a three - year project that showed the promise and challenges of
video observation as a tool for teachers» professional growth, the Center for Education Policy Research (CEPR) at Harvard has released a comprehensive toolkit to help educators get a successful start with video observations in their own communities.
By leveraging both in - person and
video observations, engaging regularly with teachers in the feedback process, providing bite - sized feedback on a narrow set of expectations, and focusing on the formative growth of her teachers, she has blurred the line between evaluation and support.
And technology is used for
video observations of classrooms and feedback.
She enlists the assistance of other teachers, conducts in - person and
video observations, and helps her new teachers build support networks.
Incorporating simpler
video observation activities early in teacher education may lead to greater acceptance of more advanced video observation activities, such as video annotation and video clubs, during student teaching and professional practice, preparing new teachers for an era of accountability that increasingly relies on video (Rich & Hannafin, 2009).
So what does it take to create
a video observation and coaching system — formal or informal?
[Additionally]...
video observations had been optional for our teachers because of all the inherent challenges.
Last year, LaGrange began using
our video observation tool, which is focused on using technology to help teachers get the feedback they need (and want) to help them improve.
Day 2: Continue to develop and redefine effective scripting and coding practices; Continue identifying evidence connected to 5D dimensions and 5D + indicators using
video observations.
Paulien Oltheten's solo show at the consistently strong Fons Welters, for example, will recount the Dutch photographer's witty and occasionally surreal photo and
video observations from her recent travels in Burma, Israel, and Russia.
Video observations, additional assignments and readings will also be required in order to maximize learning and integration of the material.
The Family Development Center is a teaching clinic that typically has one to two graduate level practicum students participating in all aspects of a mental health private practice, including direct client contact, co-therapy,
video observation and consultation.
