CLLI: Video and Checklists

Directions for VIDEO RECORDING for CER

The Cue-Do-Review instructional sequence is included in each Content Enhancement Guidebook. Prepare a video (about 20 minutes in length) including use of the Cue-Do-Review instructional sequence while co-constructing with students. Be sure to use the attached Cue-Do-Review Video Checklist (.docx) to guide you.

1. Include all of the Cue behaviors. This step will require only a few minutes as you name the device, provide the rationale, and set student expectations.
2. Include a representation of the Do behaviors. This portion of the video should provide us with a snapshot of your use of the Linking Steps with students and how you engage students in co-construction of the device.
3. Include all of the Review behaviors. Similar to the Cue Behaviors, this should require a few minutes. Be sure to ask how the device links to or guides learning, lead some review of the content, and remind students to use the device for instruction and assessment.
4. Include a detailed self-reflection on the Cue-Do-Review checklist (.docx)

Be sure that you:

1. Describe the video you are submitting: name the CER, identify if this is an introduction of new content or review, describe the setting, students, and situation. The recording should be clearly marked with the applicant's name and should include the name of the routine being modeled and any other information about the classroom setting necessary to set the stage for the viewer.

• Explain the purpose of the video to the students. If the students have not been videoed prior to this session, the teacher should explain the purpose of the video. The video will be used to observe the Cue-Do-Review instructional process, not to observe students.
• Whether using a phone, iPad, camera or other device ensure the device is focused on you and the screen during the entire video. Avoid video-taping students, but if they are in the video, be sure to follow your school’s policy for gaining permission.  If you do not have access to a classroom of students, an artificial setting may be created and recorded with a student.
• Send a copy of the device used for your video. When you submit your video, include a copy of the device that you drafted for the lesson. This can count as one of your submitted devices in of your application.
• Check the video before submitting. The session should be recorded and saved to a file that can be opened in Windows Media Player, Quick Time Player or should be submitted on a platform such as Vimeo, YouTube, Google Drive, or saved on thumb-drive.

The Model Stage includes four critical teaching behaviors. Prepare a video demonstrating the model from start to finish. Be sure to use the attached Model Checklist (.docx) to guide you.

1. Advance Organizer
2. Presentation (model of strategy from start to finish)
3. Student Enlistment (involve students in demonstration after providing complete model)
4. Post Organizer

Be sure to:

• Explain the purpose of the video to the students. If the students have not been videoed prior to this session, the teacher should explain the purpose of the video.  The video will be used to observe the critical teaching behaviors of the model stage, not to observe students.
• Video a lesson that is part of ongoing strategy instruction if possible. The instructional setting should be the normal classroom arrangement. Because videoing can be uncomfortable for the teacher and the students, the video session should be as normal as possible. We want to view the type of instruction that normally occurs as the applicant and the students are involved in strategy instruction.
• Whether using a phone, iPad, camera or other device ensure the device is focused on you and the screen during the entire video.  Avoid video-taping students, but if they are in the video, be sure to follow your school’s policy for gaining permission.  If you do not have access to a classroom of students, an artificial setting may be created and recorded with a student.
• Check the video before submitting. The session should be recorded and saved to a file that can be opened in Windows Media Player, Quick Time Player or should be submitted on a platform such as Vimeo, YouTube, or saved on thumb-drive.  Ensure your privacy settings are turned on and you have allowed access to view.
• Watch and rate your video using the Model Video Checklist.  Once you have completed the video, view it while applying the Model Video Checklist to ensure you have included all phases.  Complete your self-reflection about your performance.  The professional development leader will view the video and apply the same checklist.  Please include the model checklist (.docx) in your application. 
• On the application, describe the video your submitting.  Describe the strategy, setting, students and situation.  Provide any information that will help us adequately evaluate your model.
