and strategies, understanding is enhanced, and teachers feel better-

supported. Teachers are encouraged to work collaboratively to reflect on

lessons that have been taught in order to improve future re-teaching.

To earn credit for this activity, teachers who meet together must use the

Teachscape REFLECT camera or other camera to record collaboration

session. The video should be uploaded and shared with Jennifer Chandler

([email protected]) to ensure that proper credit is given. Make sure

that your video captures specific discussion that reflects on teaching and

learning and adjustments that will be made in future lessons. As a guide, it

is suggested that participants refer to the TEM Framework in the domain

"Reflect and Adjust."

as the basis of discussion. Colleagues who share video, add comments,

and adjust strategies of teaching should email Jennifer Chandler at

[email protected] for one hour of professional development credit.

Participants may be asked to share video evidence with Jennifer Chandler

to confirm participation.

Why not work with your close team of colleagues to examine instructionvia video capture, student work samples, student assessment data, or other

pieces of concrete evidence! If you work with your colleagues to reflect

and adjust your practice during a PLC, email Jennifer Chandler at

[email protected]. Be sure to describe your discussion with details,

your process for reflection, and your next steps based on your discussion

with coaches and/or colleagues. Teachers who choose to capture the

reflective practice using the Teachscape REFLECT camera and share the

video with Jennifer Chandler will receive two hours of PD credit.
