  4. Individual and Table Reflections • What are your expectations for video-based materials? What do you want to do with them? • Reflect individually, then talk with one or two others at your table about your expectations. • Or, try these questions: • What video-based materials have you used or reviewed? • What questions do you have about using video-based materials to improve math instruction?

  5. Videos as… • Models to emulate • how to? • to see the good is to do the good • emphasis on what is happening, how does it work

  6. Videos as… • Best practices to aspire to • what is it? • to see the good is to be inspired by the good • emphasis on why it’s best practices and what it is yielding

  7. Videos as… • Catalysts for reflection • what is the significance? • to understand the good is part of doing the good • emphasis on to what end

  8. Videos as…

  9. One video Element of Quality Instruction Assessment Strategy Reviewing Homework Featured Video Student-to-Student Assessment Take a look at how students in Barbara Cleveland’s seventh grade math class work in small groups to review, revise and reflect on their homework.

  10. One video • Assuming your goal is to improve math instruction, what do you want to do (what could you do) with this video? • Do you want to use it as a • model to emulate? • best practice to aspire to? • catalyst for reflection?

  11. “No naked video” • Power of video is enhanced when used with surrounding materials • Video artifacts • Related Success at the Core videos • Videos from the field • Additional resources

  12. Depth and Breadth • Leadership Development materials • Seven modules address schoolwide practices that improve student achievement, including using data effectively and focusing on quality instruction • Videos illustrate module topics and combine with readings, activities for reflection and planning , and inventories. 120- or 180-minute modules can be extended to include pre-assessments and an exploration of additional resources related to the topic • Designed for use by leadership teams or other teams of teachers • Teacher Development materials • 24 strategies show practices that teachers can add to their repertoire • Videos show in realclassrooms and are supplemented by instructional materials, lesson plan, teacher commentary and additional resources • Designed for use by teachers as individuals, in small groups or in large groups

  13. Uniqueness • Focuses on both instructional and leadership capacity • Uses an entirely web-based delivery system for all its programming • Supports and enhances the talents of in-house facilitators, eliminating the need for outside facilitators • Offers an “ideologically neutral” curriculum • Takes into account the political and technical challenges of working in a school • Makes use of research-based practices that are directly linked to student outcomes • Contains documentary-style videos that are authentic, that “look like me,” reflecting the feel of a real classroom

  14. Videos: A Defining Feature • Include over six hours of high-quality video • - 21 videos feature leadership teams (Leadership Development modules) • - 24 videos feature classroom teachers (Teacher Development strategies) • Offer a vision of quality instruction • Tell the story by demonstrating what actually happened • in the classroom or on a school leadership team • Capture the work of the teacher and the students • Situates videos in professional learning materials to encourage deep learning, reflection, and improvement of practice

  15. Explore and analyze • What are you looking to do with video-based materials? • How might you use SaC materials to that end? • Plan A: Individual or pair exploration of SaC materials • Plan B: Large group, guided reflection activity

  16. Redux: Videos as • Model to emulate • how to? • to see the good is to do the good • emphasis on what is happening, how does it work • SaC wasn’t intended as models to emulate • because we think that more surround is needed for teachers to replicate in own classroom, unmediated • but we found that there may be enough surround, especially when supplemented with discussion with colleagues, own materials, and additional resources, to take strategy directly into classroom as a model

  17. Redux: Videos as • Best practices to aspire to • what is it? • to see the good is to be inspired by the good • emphasis on why it’s best practices and what it is yielding • SaC intended as “best practices” to aspire to • because we think that good video is and can be inspirational and illustrative & access to teacher’s thinking through video interview and teacher commentary helps • and we found that these materials are inspirational and, more important, illustrative of at least good practice, without making claim that this is ideal practice

  18. Redux: Videos as • Catalyst for reflection • what is the significance? • to understand the good is part of doing the good • emphasis on to what end • SaC intended as catalysts for reflection • because we think that video + materials, designed for use with others, support reflection and interpretation of practice & that these skills can be used with many strategies (i.e., many videos) • and we found that these materials, given their flexibility in design, can support different kinds of reflection in different settings, with different populations (new and veteran teachers; within and cross-discipline; pre-service and inservice)
