The "Sarah Video"
The "Sarah Video" is a classroom observation video from the Smithsonian's Case Studies in Science Education video series. It has a lesson from Sarah interspersed with her own reflections. It is frequently used in CFGs and New Coaches' sessions for introducing the idea of classroom observation and conversation, and until now has been hard to find as the series is out of print.
The NSRF has been granted permission to reproduce this video segment by the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics Science Education Department. Place your order for a DVD of this video. There is a $10 charge for the cost of the DVD and Shipping.
You may also stream or download the Sarah Video as a QuickTime Movie:
