The Insights tab includes several tools: open-ended questions that help inspire the observer for what to look for in the video; a student-to-teacher talk time graph to support a deep-dive into student engagement, language development, and confidence; and, a visual representation of the most frequently used words within the lesson to get a sense for the presence of academic language. "With the help of Edthena, we are harnessing the power of video and innovative AI tools to level up our coaching practices," said Amanda Maceo, professional development implementation strategist for Alief Independent School District. "By leveraging Edthenas VC3 platform, our program empowers teacher residents to analyze and refine their instructional strategies, fostering self-efficacy through critical reflection and collaborative learning.
