Video Reflection Assignment

The ability for a teacher to reflect on what he/she has done in the classroom is a valuable tool to use toward professional growth, and one we want you to develop.

Assignment: Your assignment is to videotape a thirty (30) minute segment of a classroom lesson, reflect on it by answering questions about the video, share the video with and receive feedback about the video from a veteran teacher, and reflect more.

Guidelines: You may download the template for the reflection questions from the Project TEACH webpage ( DCSD homepage>Departments>Human Resources>Project TEACH>Video Reflection assignment) or you may use a Word document. If not using the template, the end product you turn in must meet the following guidelines:  It must be typed in 12-pt font, have 1-inch margins, and be double-spaced.  The question must be typed in bold first, and the response should follow in regular font.

Both the reflection and the video must be labeled with the teacher’s name, grade level and/or subject taught, and school. Please preview video for picture clarity and sound before submitting. The video must be on CD, standard DVD, or jump drive that will run with either Windows Media Player or Quick Time. Please check that your video is viewable before submitting!
