Videoing for Success

1
Videoing for Success

• National Board
• Certification Awaits

...an opportunity to show your PASSION for your
students and your subject matter and the joining
of these two
2
The Video Matters

• Commentary is read first and then the video is
  watched.
• Assessors are not allowed to go back and review a
  video. They can reread the commentary.

3
Videoing Tips

• Tape section must be uninterrupted and NO
  captions
• Use power plugs and drop cords that are tied
  together, not batteries
• Check the white balance before filming close
  blinds, check lighting
• Check the audio a couple of times
• Have your students practice speaking up

4
Your Videographer Your Victory

• Meet with your videographer
• Be sure you are seen on your video
• Be sure your students are seen in your video
  their faces are important!
• Scan your room so the assessor can see what your
  room looks like and get a true appreciation for
  your teaching environment
• Be sure teaching tools are seen since you will be
  discussing why these are being used

5
Student Interaction

• Are you asking open ended questions?
• Is there interaction between students when
  needed?
• Are you the ONLY one that seems to know the
  answers (wait time)?
• Address the students by first names
• Call on a variety of students
• Equity and Fairness
• Be natural (OK as natural as possible)
• Are you speeding through your lesson

6
Commentary

• Does your commentary relate to your video?
• Did you address (write to) the questions in
  italics from your portfolio directions?

7
Partner Time

• Dog
• Cat

Happy Memories Think about a time of instruction
as recent as possible
8
WHY (student focused)???

• What do you know about these students as a group?
• What do you know about the individual students?
• What instructional decisions did you make because
  of what you know about your students as a whole?
• What instructional decisions did you make because
  of what you know about individual students?

9
WHY (subject matter) ????

• What do your students already know?
• How do you know they already have this knowledge?
• Why is it important that your students need to
  know what you are teaching in this lesson?

10
Why (Teaching Methodologies)???

• Why are you teaching this way?
• Demonstration
• Small groups
• Visual
• Why are your students sitting where they are
  sitting?
• Why are the desks/tables arranged in the way they
  are?
• Why do you use the materials that you use?
• Overheads
• LCD Panels
• Active Boards
• Show-Me Boards
• How are you assessing the learning taking place?
• Informal vs. Formal

• Auditory
• Kinesthetic
• Musical

11
Just one more thing!

• Did you video what National Board wanted to see?
• If you submit more video than needed the assessor
  will not score (or even watch) the excess video.
• Label your video appropriately.
• Put your video in your envelope!!
• Keep a copy of your video!!!!!!!

12
Submitting the Video

• Send video in acceptable format (VHS/DVD)
• Send only what you want the assessor to view
• Make sure the VHS/DVD is cued where you want the
  assessor to begin (where it is cued is where they
  WILL begin)
• Check your audio!!!! View and listen to your
  selection in at least two different machines and
  televisions before you submit your video segment.
• Note From former assessor ..entry score in the
  1 range is a result of the video not being
  evidence of the commentary or something wrong
  with the audio/video.

13
It is All About YOUR Classroom

• Your assessor only knows what you show and tell
  them.
• DO NOT assume that they know you know.
• They assume you do not know until you tell them
• How fast can you
• go from
• 0 to 4???
