In deference to a world enthralled by shows like "Extreme Makeover" and "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," the public school district in Washington has hired a reality television company to produce videos intended to improve the skills of its teachers. The 80 videos, 5 to 15 minutes in length, are peppered with quick jump cuts, slick screen labels and a jaunty soundtrack. In short interviews and classroom snippets, the district’s highest-performing teachers demonstrate how they teach a range of lessons, from adding decimal numbers to guiding students of differing ability levels through a close reading of the Marshall Plan.
The videos, financed by a $900,000 grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, were developed as a complement to Washington’ s evaluation system, known as Impact, in which teachers are judged on student test scores and classroom observations. Through these evaluations, versions of which are being put in place across the country, teachers receive feedback on the areas where they need to improve, as well as a numerical rating. But many of Washington’s teachers complained that they needed examples of the highest performing level. Because teachers spend most of their days isolated in their own classrooms, they rarely get a chance to observe their peers. The videos give them a way to peek behind the closed doors of their colleagues.
Now, with new national curriculum standards driving teachers to modify their longstanding teaching practices, a broad range of school districts, universities, companies and nonprofits are rushing to develop online video libraries showing model teaching. A nonprofit group allied with the New York State Department of Education is developing a series of about 200 videos demonstrating lessons aligned with the Common Core standards for reading and math that 45 states and the District of Columbia have adopted. Teaching Channel, a nonprofit, has a collection of more than 500 professionally produced videos of teachers recommended by school districts and other teacher organizations. The University of Michigan is indexing about 16,000 videos of fourth- through ninth-grade English and math teachers in six urban districts. And hundreds of amateur clips have been uploaded to YouTube by individual teachers.
Education experts warn that video needs to be part of a broader program of professional development, comparing the use of video in teaching to how it is used by athletes. In Washington, evaluators and principals will recommend specific videos to teachers. Jill Nyhus, senior director of technology for the Washington schools, said principals or instructional coaches would also convene gatherings where teachers could discuss the videos.
What do education experts think of the model teaching videos?
选项
A、They believe the videos open a door to all the teachers.
B、They still have doubts about the effects of the videos.
C、They feel the way to use the videos is very important.
D、They think only parts of the videos are useful to teachers.
答案
C
解析
第四段中没有任何内容说明专家们认为视频为教师们打开了一扇大门,因此排除A项;虽然第一句提到专家们提醒人们,视频片段运用需要更大平台的支撑,但并没有说专家们对视频片段的影响有所怀疑,因此排除B项;第四段只是提到在使用视频片段时的注意事项,并没有说专家们认为仅有一部分视频重要,因此排除D项。因此C项为正确答案。
