During the Orientation for the newly hired New Teacher Support (NeTS) staff, there was an opportunity to show HRD Podcast #1. Sitting at the front of the room it was easy to notice that their eyes and body language became charged with electricity. Spines straightened and chairs scuttled in place during the next 102 seconds. Being hand selected by Principals to support New Educators, it was no surprise that the 10 coaches immediately recognized the value this clip had as a resource when coaching. When asked for possible topics of conversation, without hesitation “management, pacing, student motivation” flew across the room. A good coach can see there is more than one side to a picture.
One could easily understand…it is not just the clip; it’s also the Coach.

Looks like some qualitative data that may be able to be classified. I wonder if the use of these clips makes our veteran teachers more reflective about their work? I wonder how students would react?
