Graduation: swirling graduates\u2019 gowns gather in the grounds of a cathedral. A student presented me to her mother saying she remembered everything I had taught her. I gently teased her, at which point she flung her arms out wide and waggled her fingers gently, repeating words I said two years previously:\u00a0\u201cI AM A UTERUS!!

\u00a0<\/em>\"uterus\"<\/a>Peer observation of teaching practice is deemed good practice for novice and experienced lecturers. An alternative is self-coaching via videoing teaching practice with Panopto<\/a>. This may be as part of the PGCert<\/a>, TeachBU<\/a> or appraisal but regular reflection is the greatest benefit of the process.<\/p>\n

I came to videoed self-coaching by accident. I was analysing research videos of a Drawing Programme that I had facilitated. Though I watched participants through my \u201cresearcher\u201d lenses I became distracted by my on-screen presence. I was scrutinising myself through my \u201clecturer\u201d and \u201ccoach\u201d lenses. I irritated myself due to expansive gesturing while explaining processes.<\/p>\n

Concurrently, I conducted a mid-unit evaluation on a module I was teaching. The following week, I presented the results and added that viewing research video data made me aware of how much I moved my arms during teaching. I apologised and said I would attempt to change this habit. As I wandered round during learning activities, several students requested that I DID NOT STOP using my body to explain concepts. Students\u00a0reiterated several examples of how altering physical positions, which I did without much conscious awareness, helped reinforce concepts. My facial and bodily gestures were drawings-in-the-air that punctuated speech. They explained how these performative enactments conveyed different notions than speech alone which they valued for learning.<\/p>\n

Videoing teaching situations are easier than before but I would advocate sharing self-appraisals with colleagues and students as they may see things differently to you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
