Hello #VAESPchat! My name is Tika, and I am PK-5 principal in Las Vegas. We just finished the school year😀

Q2 What were your experiences during the pandemic using video.....How might these experiences help introduce video reflection to your school. #VAESPchat . .

A1 I have recorded myself as a teacher and mentor modeling a lesson. I have also recorded other teachers so they can reflect too. This is a good strategy as long as there is reflection and follow up. #VAESPchat

A2 I was a teacher and mentor during the pandemic. Teaching using Zoom or Google Meet & using a camera to record in class teaching are very different. #VAESPchat

A3 Teachers who are willing to be recorded and reflect benefit from it. We also have our strategists sit with a teacher to observe a model teacher and whisper coach. It is also beneficial. #VAESPchat

A4 Ensure the coaches build relationships with the teachers, create PLCs for collaboration & reflection, not compliance, and ensure the coaches are in classrooms supporting teachers 💯 of the time. #VAESPchat

A5 Coaching done well is well thought out, collaborative, authentic, reflective, timely, & ensuring that the coaches are in has “school cred!” The teachers have to believe in the coach’s abilities. #VAESPchat
