Authentic Voices from the Field: Associate Teachers Talk About the Effective Feedback
Abstract: An Associate Teacher was filmed during pre- and post-lesson debriefing sessions with two Teacher Candidates during the OISE practicum placements. By watching and discussing the filmed debriefing sessions on the digital resource, Associate Teachers began to examine their own questioning and feedback practices. MoreThis webinar resource for Associate Teachers includes three strategies which may help as you engage your Teacher Candidate in reflective conversations. Please read the description of the technique before
viewing the video. The videos took place in elementary classrooms, but the 3 strategies can be easily for secondary.
