Her research interests lie in the areas of teacher development, video reflection, and reflective practice. In this episode, Cecilia touches on:
- video-based observation as a form of development
- how videos can foster more critical reflection
- using video recordings in both the physical and digital classroom
- why every teacher should record their own lessons - and then watch them
- how video observation can be incorporated into pre-service training courses
- why video observation reduces the hierarchical relationship of traditional observation and how it can foster community building
- advice for new educators just getting started
