Video Goals

Aspects of my teaching that I would like to capture on my video for PACT:

  • Attention to participation issues. Which students are participating? Which students are participating negatively? Which students are disengaged? How am I encouraging participation? Is it enforced, or is the lesson engaging? How is participation structured (hand raising, shout outs, etc). How do I switch between different types of participation?
  • What kind of questions am I asking? Am I switching between asking for facts, interpretations, etc? How am I receiving answers?
  • How clear is my instruction? Are students able to work independently or in groups afterward? How often do I repeat instructions?
  • Where am I in the class? How am I resolving behavioral and logistical concerns? What behavior am I rewarding, and how?
