Abstract

I have been involved in a recent research project, led by Newcastle University, that focused on trainee teachers and teacher educators across five European countries (https://veoeuropa.com), came up with four key points for school and university leaders who are thinking of adopting video in the classroom:

• Video-enhanced observation should be discussed at a strategic level and explicitly incorporated into relevant school policies;
• A video-enhanced observation framework should be developed with clear guidelines for staff observing, being observed, and for feedback;
• A dedicated platform should underpin the secure handling of video material within the school;
• Only school-approved devices should be used to collect video data, and not teachers’ personal devices.
