Presentation - Maximizing Use with Comment Only


Stephanie Bernander
Director for RITE (Residency in Teacher Education) at CESA 6

  • 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.
