Michael Davison is a PE Teacher in a large secondary school in the north east. As well as normal teaching responsibilities, Michael is also a programme leader for Key Stage 4 Physical Education and Lead Teaching and Learning teacher for PE. He also works with the North East SCITT PE Partnership as a link tutor, coaching and mentoring trainee teachers. Over the last few yearsn Michael has delivered workshops at a number of conferences talking about innovative practice in PE and how Marginal Gains can be applied to learning.
For me the use of video analysis in teaching is, and always will be, an essential tool to improve teaching feedback and develop outstanding practice. As a link tutor within a PE partnership, I see feedback, and the effectiveness of feedback, as one of the most important factors in developing initial teacher training (ITT) students. I also believe this should not be limited to just ITT students. Videoing a lesson and watching it back, although uncomfortable at times, can have a bigger impact than any observation or learning walk that you will take part in. With video analysis, what you see is what you get and a lot of the time, the realness of what you see can have a profound impact.
