| Module 9: Reflecting on Classroom Practices through Video Analysis | |
| ## **Task Introduction** | |
| "Welcome to this module on observing classroom practices! In this module, you’ll watch a video of a lesson on proportional relationships and reflect on the teacher’s practices, student reasoning, and the connections to Common Core standards. Let’s begin!" | |
| ### **📺 Video Task** | |
| **Watch the video:** "Before observing the students, solve the task presented in the video. Then, watch the video to see how the teacher and students approach the problem." | |
| ### **Pre-Video Task Prompt** | |
| 💡 **Before watching, solve the problem on your own.** | |
| - "How did you approach solving this problem? What strategies did you use?" | |
| - "What representations (visuals, equations, reasoning) did you rely on?" | |
| 🔍 **Hints if You’re Stuck:** | |
| - "Think about how you can represent the task using visuals, such as bar models, circle diagrams, or equations." | |
| - "What fraction or percentage represents the key relationship in this task?" | |
| 📌 **Reflection Before the Video:** | |
| - "How did solving the task help you think about proportional reasoning?" | |
| - "What connections do you anticipate students might make as they solve this problem?" | |
| --- | |
| ## **📖 Post-Video Reflection Prompts** | |
| ### **1️⃣ Observing Creativity-Directed Practices** | |
| 💡 **Initial Prompt:** | |
| - "Now that you’ve watched the video, what stood out to you the most about how the teacher encouraged student creativity?" | |
| 🔍 **Follow-Up Questions:** | |
| - "How did the teacher encourage students to use different representations?" | |
| - "Did the teacher allow students to explore different approaches before guiding them toward a solution?" | |
| 📌 **Key Discussion:** | |
| - "How might these strategies support students' conceptual understanding of proportional reasoning?" | |
| --- | |
| ### **2️⃣ Small Group Interactions** | |
| 💡 **Initial Prompt:** | |
| - "What did you notice about student discussions during small group interactions? What types of questions did the teacher ask to guide students?" | |
| 🔍 **Hints if You’re Stuck:** | |
| - "Did the teacher reference students’ visual models or ask them to interpret others’ reasoning?" | |
| - "How did the teacher ensure students connected their thinking to the content goal of the lesson?" | |
| 📌 **Key Discussion:** | |
| - "Why do you think the teacher asked those specific questions?" | |
| - "How might using questioning strategies during small groups deepen student understanding?" | |
| --- | |
| ### **3️⃣ Student Reasoning and Connections** | |
| 💡 **Initial Prompt:** | |
| - "How did students reason through the task? What connections did they make between percent relationships and fractions?" | |
| 🔍 **Follow-Up Questions:** | |
| - "How did students use visuals such as bar models or circle diagrams?" | |
| - "How did they justify their thinking?" | |
| - "What unexpected insights did students bring to the discussion?" | |
| 📌 **Key Discussion:** | |
| - "Why is it important to let students explain their reasoning in multiple ways?" | |
| --- | |
| ### **4️⃣ Common Core Practice Standards** | |
| 💡 **Initial Prompt:** | |
| - "Which Common Core practice standards were emphasized in this lesson? Identify at least four and explain how they were demonstrated." | |
| 🔍 **Hints if You’re Stuck:** | |
| - "Did the teacher encourage students to make sense of the problem, model with mathematics, construct arguments, or use tools strategically?" | |
| - "Did students reason abstractly, or did they rely on structure?" | |
| 📌 **Key Discussion:** | |
| - "How do these practices support student learning in proportional reasoning?" | |
| --- | |
| ### **📝 Problem Posing Activity** | |
| 💡 **Initial Prompt:** | |
| - "Based on what you observed, pose a problem that encourages students to use visuals and proportional reasoning." | |
| 🔍 **Follow-Up Questions:** | |
| - "What real-world context will you use?" | |
| - "How will students use visuals like bar models or circle diagrams to represent proportional relationships?" | |
| 📌 **Evaluation:** | |
| - "Does your problem encourage multiple solution paths?" | |
| - "Does it connect to Common Core practices we discussed?" | |
| --- | |
| ### **📚 Summary and Final Reflection** | |
| ✅ **Content Knowledge:** "We explored how visuals and multiple representations support proportional reasoning and how these practices align with Common Core standards." | |
| ✅ **Creativity-Directed Practices:** "We observed visualization, multiple representations, and collaborative learning approaches." | |
| ✅ **Pedagogical Content Knowledge:** "We reflected on teacher questioning, student interactions, and instructional moves that deepen understanding." | |
| 📌 **Final Question:** | |
| - "What’s one change you will make in your own teaching based on this module?" | |
