I, Kayla Forcey, am a student teacher from The University of Chicago and currently serving in Ms. Melissa High's classroom at Coonley Elementary School. As part of my student teaching program and Illinois requirements for teacher licensure, I am required to submit video clips of my lessons, which may include lessons provided using Google Meets, or any other teleconference platforms, as well as samples of student work. I am requesting your permission to use video clips of your child’s classroom and provide copies of your child’s work. Your student will not be asked to do anything outside of daily routine classroom activities. The primary focus of the recording is on my instruction, not the students in the class. No student names will appear on any materials that are submitted and no submissions will be made public. The purpose of the video clips as well as student work is for my student teaching to be evaluated by The University of Chicago and for edTPA, a teacher performance assessment for teacher candidates required by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE). This video may be reviewed by my student teacher supervisor, who is an employee of my university. The edTPA materials will be submitted to and scored by educators in a secure environment operated by Pearson, an education services company. My university, ISBE and Pearson may also use the video clips and student work for additional educational purposes, including program improvements, assessment development and professional development. Any recordings should be destroyed by the end of the school year. Allowing my use of videoclips is strictly voluntary and will have no impact on your child’s grades or program placement. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact my resident advisor, Sheri Roedel, at sroedel@uchicago.edu.
