Watching unedited classroom footage gives instructors a common experience to explore and discuss instructional practices, providing the opportunity for participants to more actively construct meaning and contribute their expertise. To that end, we have created this robust library of raw clips, which you can search and sort in multiple ways to find content that will enable you to lead rich discussions. You can explore this sample session plan to get one idea of what this learning can look like in practice. Each raw clip also includes “Facilitators Notes” that you can use to guide your planning. We welcome you to submit any raw clip lesson plans you create for potential inclusion on this site.
