How the COE is Using Video in its Innovations
The implementation of video has taken a prominent role in the COE PIRATE Code, from Video Grand Rounds (VGR) to ISLES to EDTPA.
Students start by observing the video pertaining to the innovations in the VGR component. The instructors show video clips of actual preK-12 classes in place of observation visits by the students. The videos demonstrate strategies the candidates are to look for when they physically go to classrooms to observe. These videos provide an accurate comprehensive visual picture of the strategies in practice. Then in class, students debrief to ensures they comprehend what they are seeing. For more information, check out the VGR blog post .
The students begin to create their own videos when they participate in ISLES. The final component is showing conditional knowledge of the effective instructional practices when they submit a video demonstrating it. For more information, check out the ISLES blog post.
edTPA is a big aspect of the teacher education program and video takes a prominent role in its completion. Students must submit a video of them teaching to be evaluated. These videos allow the faculty to make sure that students are prepared to move on from the COE and have their own classrooms. For more information, check out the edTPA blog post.
The usage of video and the innovations have gone hand in hand to better prepare ECU COE candidates for their future as teachers
