Abstract
Science instruction is a persistent and well-documented area of difficulty for many elementary teachers. Learning to teach science is particularly challenging for novices given that there are relatively few models of effective science teaching available. Video cases have served as one approach for illustrating best practices to novice teachers; however, opportunities for access to experienced elementary teachers' reasoned decision making about their science teaching are limited. In this brief paper session, we will describe a collaborative project in which two experienced elementary teachers and the preservice teachers with whom they work engaged in co-analysis of digital video of science teaching across a school year. Initial findings from the project also will be presented. Implications for incorporating digital video analysis into teacher education experiences will be addressed.
