Individual Users and Collaborators, edTPA and NBCT Candidates

​

 

Who  
            

  • Future Teachers - Pre-service teachers use video and data to examine their teaching and develop self-analysis and reflection skills. Future teachers, independently of a teacher preparation program, may form an observation team that provides feedback and recommendations to each other using the qualitative or quantitative modes of SMT.

                                                           

  • Current Teacher - A teacher who knows that the once-per-year formal observation has little impact may wish independently or ask other registered user colleagues to join them in a collaborative study of classroom instruction based on data and evidence.  

                                            

  • Cooperating Teachers – When mentoring beginning teachers, the mentor could use the real-time feature of SMT to provide comments and offer feedback or videotape instruction for the future teacher, so either or both can complete an analysis followed by a conversation about the data collected and examine the evidence and indicators for growth in teaching skills.

                                            

  • The edTPA Candidate - In this high-stakes evaluation, a pre-service teacher must use video and data to examine their teaching, demonstrating self-analysis and reflection skills when writing and submitting the edTPA for external assessment.

​

  • The NBCT Candidate - NBCT candidates must submit a video segment of their teaching with an in-depth analysis and reflective narrative about their instruction. Using SMT allows the candidate to collect robust data about their teaching and embed the data and analysis into the submission.
