Practicing the Process with Chas and Pang ● Pre-Conference Video-7 ½ minutes ● Lesson Video-10 minutes ● LIVE Post Conference ● Q & A

Video Viewing Norms CONTEXT MATTERS ● Video clips are examples, not exemplars ● Video clips are for investigation of teaching not evaluation NO: He should have, why didn’t he? YES: I was wondering why he... ● Video clips are snapshots on a moment, not an entire lesson NO: That was not the right coaching gesture... YES: Can you tell us why you sideline huddled then? ● Video Clips are for examination of interactions NO: OMG! Did you see that… YES: I noticed...

Pre-Conference ● Look at pre-conference form on page 10 ● Lesson objective has been discussed and they are now deciding on the focus practice. While watching this video clip, here are some questions you can think about: ● When does Chas intercede in the discussion and why? ● What kinds of questions does Chas ask? ● Describe the norms that have been established by this TEI team. ● How were the norms maintained?

Lesson ● We’re practicing using descriptive, non-judgmental language about teaching and learning ● Remember that our purpose today is not to evaluate the teacher, or the UNC Charlotte teacher preparation programs. ● As you observe, let two questions primarily guide your note-taking: ○ What do you see or hear students doing? ○ What do you see or hear the teacher doing?
