Sample Video Instructions:
● Please share a 10-15-minute sample teaching video via Google Drive or another video-sharing website, along with any other artifacts you may want to include.
○ Ensure that the video preferences are “Anyone with the link can view.” We will not share the video externally, but we do want to ensure our school leaders can view it.

See below for sample video options by our team’s preference:

1. Video of you leading in-person instruction with students. This can be from a previous school year or the current one.

Sample Video Tips:
● Videos should show you in direct instruction with students, preferably leading the whole class rather than just a small group of students. If you are applying for a special education position, small group videos are okay.
● School leaders will be looking for: your teacher's presence and engagement with students, strong expectations and directions, and the pacing of a typical lesson in your class.
● If you cannot film your students directly, we recommend including just the backs of students’ heads or having the camera focused on you.*
