About Customer	Louisiana Tech University’s Clinical Residency and Recruitment Center (CRRC) is dedicated to preparing teaching candidates for initial certification in various program areas. The CRRC offers an immersive full-year clinical residency program that benefits both residents and school district stakeholders. The program emphasizes co-teaching classroom teams and promotes student success for district partners statewide. The CRRC collaborates with 15 partner districts, each starting with one elementary and one secondary school, with opportunities for growth. The program leverages Swivl’s Teams and Robots as observation and feedback tools to enhance the training and development of future teachers. Read More
Solution	To address the challenge, Louisiana Tech University’s CRRC integrated Swivl’s Teams and Robots into their teacher residency program. The Swivl Robots are housed in administrator offices for checkout by residents and mentors, ensuring that only students with parental consent are filmed. The use of Swivl allows for real-time bookmarking, time-stamped annotation, and comment play-back viewing mode, which enhances the feedback process. The Danielson Framework for Teaching is paired with Swivl to provide structured self-assessment and deeper understanding of teaching components. The Swivl tools reduce travel time for university staff and provide efficiency in reviewing teaching sessions by multiple observers. The implementation of Swivl has expanded the program’s reach, allowing for equitable access to classrooms within a 75-mile radius. Read More Log in to view content
