with Chas and Pang

• Pre-Conference Video-7 ½ minutes

• Q & A

Video Viewing Norms CONTEXT MATTERS

• Video clips are examples, not exemplars
• Video clips are for investigation of teaching not evaluation

NO: He should have, why didn’t he? YES: I was wondering why he...

• Video clips are snapshots on a moment, not an entire lesson

NO: That was not the right coaching gesture... YES: Can you tell us why you sideline huddled then?

• Video Clips are for examination of interactions

NO: OMG! Did you see that… YES: I noticed...

Pre-Conference

• Look at pre-conference form on page 10
• Lesson objective has been discussed

and they are now deciding on the focus practice. While watching this video clip, here are some questions you can think about:

by this TEI team.

• How were the norms maintained?

Lesson

• We’re practicing using descriptive, non-judgmental

language about teaching and learning

• Remember that our purpose today is not to evaluate the

teacher, or the UNC Charlotte teacher preparation programs.

• As you observe, let two questions primarily guide your

note-taking:

○ What do you see or hear students doing? ○ What do you see or hear the teacher doing?
