Action Plan for Digital Video Flip Camera:
- Introduced the plan for highlighting AOE strategies for student engagement and building on our successes at first extended staff meeting
- Led discussion for definition of “Student Engagement” (Videoed staff teamwork)
- Asked for volunteers to invite me to video an engagement strategy
- Asked specific teachers if I could come in and video one of the strategies that I had previously observed and valued as engagement technique
- Researched You Tube videos of teachers using engagement strategies and shared at a staff meeting, led discussion regarding videos that is similar to the Educational Rounds approach
