More than ever, math teachers need accessible, high-quality opportunities to enhance their professional knowledge. Video in the Middle (VIM) offers free, flexible, standards-aligned, online Professional development experiences based on the latest research in mathematics education.
VIM provides forty, two-hour video-based professional development modules that can be combined in a variety of ways by school district mathematics PD leaders, teacher educators, or individual teachers.
VIM module design places a video clip at the center, or “in the middle,” of a professional learning experience as teachers take part in online mathematical problem solving, video analysis of classroom practice, and pedagogical reflection. Before and after teachers watch each clip, there are activities designed to ensure that the teachers engage deeply with the mathematics content and the focal instructional components. Each VIM module contains approximately two hours of learning time plus classroom application. Each VIM Module follows a common pattern of trying out the task, considering different solution methods, understanding the lesson context, conducting a detailed analysis of the video clip, and applying it to practice and self-reflection.
