EDTPA VIDEOTAPING TRAINING

Fall 2014

KEY POINTS

Learning segment (lesson) should be written to highlight your teaching

Read through the commentary prompts before you begin this assignment.

Be intentional about the lesson(s) you plan in order to capture those practices in the video

For Example• Modeling activities using

academic language• Interacting with a small group• Helping a struggling student

express himself

• Seeing two students talk and use academic language

• Supporting a student with prompts to elaborate a response

What clips to look for :

Respect and rapport evident in your video, between you and the students AND student to student.

Learning environment that supports students as well as challenges them to learn at a deeper level. (prompts or opportunities for students to learn content or demonstrate learning beyond their current performance level)

Clips that promote and support student learning as opposed to managing student behavior

Instruction is challenging (keeps students engaged and learning).

Clips that demonstrate how you engage students while teaching that help them learn what you have planned

Clips that show subject-specific student thinking, analysis, and judgment.

Asking questions to explore students’ thinking by you or student to student to display their depth of understanding

Provide evidence of how you engaged students in an activity (an assignment, a discussion, etc.) that requires the students to do more than just participate.

The students should be shown actively using some higher level thinking skills so that they are developing their conceptual understanding of the content.

In order to provide context for the new learning, you will need to make connections in the clip(s) to their prior academic learning

Lessons that require students to only focus on recall of facts or to practice a set of narrow

skills are not appropriate choices for an edTPA learning segment or video.

In your commentary responses, cite specific scenes from the video clip(s) you select for submission (time stamps) that illustrate these key points
