What to Include in an EdTPA Teaching Video to Meet Rubric Requirements
The EdTPA teaching video should be aligned with the EdTPA rubrics, which assess your effectiveness in planning, instruction, and assessment. To meet rubric requirements, include the following:
6.1 Clear Learning Objectives
Ensure the video demonstrates how the lesson aligns with specific learning objectives. These should be visible and clear, either in your commentary or directly referenced in your teaching.
6.2 Instructional Strategies
Showcase the instructional strategies used to engage students. This could include questioning techniques, active learning tasks, or collaborative activities. The video should demonstrate how these strategies help meet the lesson objectives.
6.3 Student Engagement
The video should capture student engagement through active participation, student responses, and interactions with the material. Show how you encourage student involvement, either through discussions, group work, or problem-solving activities.
6.4 Assessment and Feedback
Include evidence of how you assess student learning during the lesson and provide feedback. For example, you might use formative assessments such as quizzes or observations, followed by immediate feedback that helps guide student learning.
6.5 Classroom Management
Showcase your classroom management skills by demonstrating how you maintain a productive and respectful learning environment. Ensure that the video captures how you manage student behavior and encourage participation.
By following these strategies for recording your EdTPA teaching video, reflecting on your practice, and ensuring alignment with EdTPA rubrics, you will be well-positioned to demonstrate your teaching competence and meet the requirements for your capstone project.
