This morning's NY Times featured a short article about a project called Realty PD. In essence, the short videos are done in a reality-tv style (aka with testimonials), and are designed to show examples of exceptional teaching in the DC school system, allowing teachers to see what their peers are doing in the classroom.

The idea reminded me of TORSH and their idea for professional development through video (though this project only included video of exceptional teachers, without any other elements).

What do you think of this project? If you were a teacher would you want to watch your peers to get ideas to improve your own teaching?
