Sample NENTS Videos
Watch the videos below. As you watch, consider the following questions:
-
What is the teacher trying to accomplish? What understandings/skills is he/she trying to develop?
-
How does this lesson work for you as a learner? What does the teacher do that works particularly well for you? What changes would make the lesson more effective for you?
-
For what age group would this lesson be appropriate?
-
What else do you notice? Consider how the room is set up, how he/she relates to the students in the class, how she/he involves students in the class, how the teacher moves around the room. Listen to the voice, tone, inflections. Observe eye contact and timing.
-
How is each lesson different from the others? What choices do we have in how we engage students, present ideas and develop understanding and skill?
