School Video Coordinator Roles and Responsibilities

The School Video Coordinator (SVC) is the person responsible for facilitating and coordinating all activities to ensure that teachers can utilize district-supplied cameras to support their reflective practice efforts in each school. SVCs will be responsible for communicating and coordinating with the Office of Reflective Practice and Instructional Support (Monica Jordan) to successfully facilitate camera use for the purposes of reflective practice at the school level. SVCs will coordinate specific activities with teachers, including delivering presentations on why and how to use the camera to facilitate reflective practice, keeping teachers informed of acceptable use of video cameras, maintain records of parental consent for students, and scheduling, delivering, and setting up the camera according to the schedule. Our goal is to deliver high-quality of customer service while providing camera access to each school in order to assist teachers to consistently utilize cameras for effective reflective practice and observation activities. SVCs are responsible for making sure that lists of students who do not have parental consent for being filmed are communicated with all staff involved in creating captures with the camera.

To facilitate camera use (reflective practice) in your school, your responsibilities include: Collaborating with teachers and administrators to ensure preparation for and proper usage of cameras
1. Newly hired teachers must sign an informed consent contract to use the camera. The contract states that teachers understand that no live teaching episode may be filmed without their consent. Teachers who signed the agreement last year do not need to sign new agreements each year. The School Video Coordinator must keep these contracts for reference purposes. 2. The SVC will schedule time in a faculty meeting to train teachers on the basics of using the camera so that teachers can stop and start the video recording process. Details of this training will be provided to the SVC in the form of a PowerPoint presentation with pictures, and the SVC will demonstrate the process using the actual equipment. 3. The SVC and administrators will enforce district policy on camera usage and alert Monica Jordan (jordanmw@mcsk12.net) of any activities that are questionable.

Coordinating parental notification and tracking parental refusals

MCS requires that parents of students are informed about the possible use of cameras in a teachers classroom and have an opportunity to choose that their child not appear on film. The MCS Media Release Form covers this informed written parental consent. Secure copies of Media Release forms of students whose parents do not consent to their child being filmed. The SVC will create a roster by grade level of students who are not allowed to be captured on video. This list will be kept with the camera as a reference for teachers who are using this technology. The SVC is responsible for updating the roster as new students register for school. The SVC will keep all originals together in a secure location and keep a master list of students who do not have permission to be filmed with the camera.

Because School Video Coordinators will be eligible to receive a stipend, the following contract needs to be signed and sent via board mail to Lee Brother in room 256 at the Board of Education. The SVC will keep a copy of the signed agreement on file.
