Video Modeling in Mathematics: Supplemental Instruction to Support Student Learning

Abstract

Educators often seek innovative strategies to support academic instruction for struggling students. For students with or at-risk for a learning disability in mathematics, challenges learning critical skills often result in them falling behind their grade-level peers. One strategy that can provide targeted instruction on key concepts is video modeling. Teacher-made videos serve as a valuable resource for struggling students to access supplementary teaching beyond the classroom. This column highlights six steps for teachers to follow when developing video modeling to support instruction for students with a learning disability.
