Review:

Developed by experts in elementary and special education, literacy, and technology, this book provides clear guidance for using videos to analyze and improve instruction. There are examples that are directly relevant to the latest, often required assessment of teaching performance, the edTPA; however, this book places video analysis at the center of preparing good teachers rather than as an attempt to address yet another mandated requirement for teacher candidates. There also is excellent discussion of technology tools that should prove valuable to teacher preparation programs, teachers, and to teacher candidates. I believe that this book will be one that users refer back to often as a guide to improved practice and collegial analysis of practice using video. (Candace Burns Ph.D, dean, College of Education, William Paterson University)

A timely resource supported by current and relevant research. The chapters remind us of the benefits of using video analysis and the importance of developing video analysis skills throughout the teacher preparation program so candidates are better prepared for expectations on edTPA. Using video clips for the edTPA portfolio is an opportunity for teacher candidates to demonstrate what they know about using video-based evidence to document practice. (Salika A. Lawrence, Medgar Evers College, City University of New York)

This book is a great resource for teacher candidates who are building their edTPA portfolio. The use of technology in the classroom today is necessary. Teacher candidates will have the opportunity to receive immediate feedback from this process to tailor and improve their teaching practice prior to submitting the edTPA portfolio. The quality of information presented in this book is priceless and works well in any classroom model. (Carol Williams, 6th Grade Co-operating Teacher, Richard J. Bailey School, NY)

An informative guide filled with strategies and tools for teacher success. Authors show how video analysis and performance can effectively improve and enhance a teacher portfolio. A must-read for any novice teachers or teachers completing the edTPA comprehensive portfolio. (Amanda Adragna, MSED in Special Education, Hofstra University)
