| Lights, Camera, Action: Recording Teachers to Improve Instruction |

Pre-service teachers will also have other requirements which must be fulfilled, such as demonstrating aptitude in preparing a lesson, differentiating lessons according to students' academic readiness, and presenting lessons effectively. My mind is wondering about how teachers and future teachers feel about being recorded. None of the concerns that teachers have shared with me about professional development is the fact that so much of what they learn during workshops they take back to the classroom and wonder if they are implementing it correctly. It seems that recording teachers could be helpful in resolving this concern. Beyond the initial nervousness of having a camera record every move, I think that it's a great idea to be able to go back and watch myself in the action. Don't football coaches, teams, and analysts pick apart games play by play in order to see what is working and to improve what is weak? How would you feel about having a recording of yourself regularly to use as a guide for improvement? What about using it as a marker for judging a student teacher's readiness to enter the classroom?
