These comments are from teachers who were featured in the current HRD Podcasts. I wonder if their statements are related to one of the initial outcomes from my data plan? (see Coaching Skills from the Glass Box Evaluation post on 10/11/06). If this is a process that promotes reflection, how well does this prepare them for National Board? This information provides a new meaning to my Action Research question.
Describe your first reaction when you saw the completed podcast.
Comments included: Reinforced, Improve, Liked, Pleased, and Amazing
What did you notice in the podcast that you would like to continue practicing for future lessons? All responses connected with Instructional Organization and Delivery that included: Expectations, Focus, and 100% student interaction.
What did you notice in the podcast that you would want to do differently? Comments included reflective statements that focused on improving their practice (I messed up on..., I would call on..., I would rather...)
What did you notice in the podcast that you did not know prior to videotaping? Statements showed that the process provided another “set of eyes" (I Noticed..., I emphasized...)
Additional Comments made by the teachers:
a) It's a great way to display teacher's strengths and weaknesses.
b) I noticed I am confident in my teaching techniques and lesson plans. The lesson helped me with my plans this year with including the dry erase boards being utilized in other academic areas.

What great feedback you are getting from these podcasts. The extra "set of eyes" comments were insightful.
