Coaching Symposium 3
Using Video and Online Resources to Improve Teaching and Learning
You will be accessing online resources and making a reference list to share with your fellow coaches. You will submit
your list to Barbara.Locker-Halmy@lausd.net to be compiled. You do not need to write answers to questions unless
there is a direction that specifically asks you to do so, however, be prepared to discuss your insights.
1. National Board Teachers use videotaping of their own practice as a tool for improving their own practice as well
as demonstrating their level of expertise for certification.
 Watch these videos on the use of capturing video of classroom practice
 Think about how you could use videos of your own classroom practice to help a teacher you are coaching
 How might you use video of the new teacher’s (or other colleague’s) practice to facilitate a coaching
conversation
 What other resources could you share with your colleagues on using video as a part of the coaching
process?

2. Watching videos of classroom practice, demonstrations or information on a topic that are available from other
practitioners can be a powerful tool for working with a new teacher.
 How might you use a video that has been posted for public access (teaching channel, edutopia, you tube…..)
as a tool to work with another teacher?
 What are some of the areas that you have noticed that teachers might want help in? Explore online
resources and find a minimum of three video resources that you would be able to share with your fellow
coaches that could be used to help move a teacher’s practice forward. List them and make a few notes for
each on how you might use it, what key points you might highlight, etc.—This will be sent to Barbara.
 View this video on how you can make notes for a video on Teaching Channel and share them with a
colleague. How might this strategy be used in a coaching situation?

 We have used some excerpts from the Teacher Survival Guide series. You might want to look at more of
them. https://www.teachingchannel.org/videos/tch-presents-new-teacher-survival-guide.
3. The internet is also a wonderful resource for accessing articles and information.
 Read the brief article at https://www.teachingchannel.org/blog/2015/05/06/video-coachingexperiment/?utm_source=newsletter20150509/
 Look at the related posts section on the left—investigate any that interest you
 How might this strategy work to assist in introducing information to a teacher you are working with?
 Make a list of a minimum of three links to articles or classroom lesson plans that you think would be
valuable for coaches to use with a teacher they are working with. Include a few notes about each of the
resources you have selected. Add it to the list to send to Barbara.
