What should the video include?
Your video should be approx. 1 minute. It must include you speaking - this can be a talking‑head video or a voiceover with images or clips. The video does not need to be polished or professionally edited; we will be evaluating the teaching you describe, not the production quality.
Include:
- A brief introduction to who you are and your GTA role (e.g. discipline, type of teaching you do)
- One teaching strategy or approach you use that has supported student learning
- Why you think this strategy has been effective for student learning
