Video Project
Guidelines
- Obtain
written permission to videotape students.
- Acquire
a digital camera, digital tape, tripod, a camera operator (in most cases
your cooperating teacher), and, if at all possible, a lapel microphone.
You can check out equipment from your student teaching site or from
Evergreen's media loan.
- The
Teacher Candidate (you) will then be videotaped teaching a complete
lesson. Plan so that you have enough time to set up the video camera, make
sure it works, and prepare the camera operator. The camera operator should
focus on the teacher (you) but occasionally focus on the students.
- Acquire
the equipment needed to view the tape: a camera and either a television or
a computer, plus the cord necessary to connect the camera to the television
or computer. You can simply plug the camera into a television or connect
the camera to a computer which has video editing software (such as
iMovie).
- Self-evaluate
your lesson based on the Evergreen Student Teaching Rubric, Domains 2 and
3 by circling the performance level for each element. To obtain copies of
the rubric you can either photocopy the appropriate pages from your
Student Teaching Handbook or print the needed pages from the MIT website:
go to http://www.evergreen.edu/mit and click on Student-Teaching
Information and then on the Evergreen
Rubric.
- Give
the peer you are working with on this project your videotape and a copy of
your lesson plan.
- Your
peer reviewer will independently critique your videotaped lesson, also
using the Evergreen Student Teaching Rubric, Domains 2 and 3 by circling
the performance level for each element.
- Write
a summative self-evaluation based on the Evergreen Student Teaching Rubric
Domain 4a.
- Save
your video footage for a project we will be doing winter quarter.
