Abstract of Dr. Sherin’s Presentation
This presentation investigates the how video can be a resource for mathematics teacher learning. In particular, I discuss the role of video in supporting the development of one component of teaching expertise called "professional vision"—teachers' ability to notice and interpret significant features of classroom interactions. Drawing from recent research on "video clubs" in which groups of teachers watch and discuss video excerpts with colleagues, I examine what teachers can learn from viewing video, how this learning take place, and the kinds of video that seem to foster productive discussions of student mathematical thinking among teachers. In addition, I discuss the use of new digital video technologies that allow us to explore teachers' in-the-moment noticing during instruction.
