In sports, you get better by watching yourself, and the other team, play. In teaching, you are in a silo, you often don't get to see others or yourself teach, and self-reflection is usually based off assessment based evidence.
Video coaching is the practice of watching yourself teach, and then reflecting with a coach--NOT an administrator. Our district has a PD for that this fall. Signing up may feel scary, you may feel vulnerable, you may feel like our learners sometimes feel, and there may be a bit of awkwardness; but if you knew it would directly impact your teaching, ultimately impacting your kids, would you give it a shot?
Those interested in taking the plunge can sign-up via MLP. I'll gladly approve your request! :)
