The Academically Productive Talk Project's
Video Library
These videos are windows into authentic classrooms in which teachers are at various stages of learning to use APT as a pedagogical tool. While several of these videos feature teachers who have received training in APT, the video archive is not intended exclusively as a showcase for high quality practice. Rather than serving as models, the videos are intended to provide common referents for discussion about APT.
