Using Videos for Professional Development -- A Conference Grant

会议的目的是为来自前沿项目的个人，他们正在创造将专业发展集中在实际课堂实践上的方法，更具体地说，使用视频作为专业发展的工具，以： * 分享他们在录像带设计、平台和软件方面的经验， 个案研究，以及与教师一起使用录像;以及 * 确定仍然需要解决的问题，有关使用视频，以改善教学。研究人员和开发人员的视频程序将召开三天半的时间来考虑这些教训和问题，使用视频开发和使用的五个“案例”中的四个来集中讨论。 在这些讨论的基础上，将以印刷和网络形式编写一本专著，讨论专业发展领导人在自己的环境中开发和使用视频时面临的重要挑战。 该专著将收集有关克服这些挑战以及在各种设置中成功使用视频的经验教训。

The purpose of the conference is for individuals from leading edge projects who are creating ways to focus professional development on actual classroom practices and, more specifically, using video as a tool for professional development, to: * share lessons they have learned about video tape design, platforms and software that facilitates video case study, and the use of videos with teachers; and * identify issues that still need to be addressed related to the use of video to improve instruction.Researchers and Developers of such video programs will convene for three and one-half days to consider these lessons and issues, using four of five "cases" of video development and use to focus the discussion. Based on these discussions, a monograph in print and web-based formats will be produced, which discusses the important challenges faced by professional development leaders as they develop and use videos in their own settings. The monograph will capture the lessons learned about overcoming these challenges and about using videos successfully in a side range of settings.
