I think video coaching is a different way to give and receive feedback and as the reading says it lowers levels of anxiety, since many teachers don’t like to be observed this technique may work for them. Another aspect is that when we watch a video of our class we can see attitudes, or mistakes we don’t see when we are teaching.
The text says we don’t spend a lot of time using this technique because we only have to watch chunks of the lesson, but I don’t agree with this because the teacher spends more time watching the whole lesson and selecting the parts he wants to receive feedback, so you spend less time doing the observation but not the teaching choosing the parts.
It is true Paola. Although we are always in front of people, when we know that there is someone who is evaluating us we can feel nervous and many mistakes can appear.

ResponderEliminarIf the teacher or student teacher takes the time to analysis a choose which parts he or she wants to share to his /her peers it is not a waste of time. The time spent on analyzing which parts to share not are learning experiences. If the teacher is able to discriminate between good strategies and weak ones the battle is half won.
