Stephanie's Recommendations for What Comment Only Can Assist With
- Introducing the use of video before candidates have to record an observation.
- Allowing candidates to get familiar with GoReact.
- Making teaching expectations during observations explicit.
- Providing exemplars so that teacher candidates can identify successful teacher interactions.
- Providing opportunities for specific feedback to candidates.
-
Best Practices for Comment Only
- Creating a marker set that is then used in the Comment Only activity can assist in better understanding what the standards and skills look like in action.
- Using a Comment Only activity can be a good stepping stone assignment to allow practice in feedback before self reflection and observation activities.
