Frankfort Digital Video Project: Analysis of Teaching
The Hunter College School of Education will incorporate video analysis into the clinical preparation of its teachers. Beginning in 2007 with 100 teachers, we will ramp up to involve all 500 of our student teachers over the next four years. The video analysis will be carefully integrated into these teachers classroom practice, its supervision, and its accompanying academic study. The purpose of the video analysis is to make the clinical experience more effective for our students.
Student teachers capture a video of a complete classroom lesson, and then upload it to the School of Education video server. Once online, the video is viewed and annotated by the student teacher, reviewed by a supervising faculty member, and discussed between them. This video process forms an assignment in the student teaching seminar, required of all students.
Later in the semester, students extract a short clip from their lesson that illustrates a specific teaching skill or situation. The student and the faculty member index the video, using a multi-dimensional online system as shown in the diagram below. The collection of clips forms a video library that Hunter faculty and students can use in learning, teaching, and research.
