Assignment Task:
Evaluation of Video Lesson Assignment Instructions
Overview:
To be an effective educator, one must be able to evaluate strengths and weaknesses in observed lessons. Your teacher education program will include practicum experiences in classrooms where you will have a chance to observe and interact with students and teachers. While in-person observations are extremely beneficial, pre-service teachers can also learn a great deal from observations of pre-recorded lessons. This assignment will allow you to observe the video of a lesson and then evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the lesson.
