A Guided Path to Introducing Video Coaching

Date:


Video is a proven, increasingly popular tool for supporting teacher growth, but introducing it takes care and intentionality. This guide offers school and district leaders a phased, practical approach to using video for reflection, collaboration, and coaching in a way that builds trust, confidence, and meaningful instructional improvement.

What’s Inside:

  • A 5-phase framework (Warm-Up, Walk, Jog, Run, Cool Down) that helps teachers ease into video use at their own pace
  • Simple activities to build reflection habits, foster trust, and strengthen peer collaboration
  • Coaching prompts and routines to help leaders embed video into professional learning without overwhelming staff
  • Tips for adapting the model to your mentoring, PLCs, or broader PD goals
  • Downloadable activities and reflection guides for every phase
  • A practical, low-lift approach to making video coaching stick—without making it high-stakes
  • Video isn’t about catching mistakes. It’s about surfacing strengths, refining practice, and helping teachers grow with clarity and purpose.
