Video Enhanced Observation has proven invaluable to our preservice teachers. VEO tag sessions give preservice teachers a common language to discuss practice. It empowers them to experiment with different ways of approaching instruction. Most importantly, VEO makes learning to teach a public, collaborative endeavor that happens in a community of practice. * Stephanie Mahfood, Ph.D, Associate Professor, Department of Teacher Education, Webster University, USA *
