Abstract

The Remote Observation of Graduate Interns (ROGI) is a method crafted by researchers at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte that allows graduate interns completing their student teaching experience to be observed remotely. Initially developed as a teacher shortage solution, ROGI remains an active method of observing interns geographically removed from the university through a virtual, synchronous format. Since its inception, ROGI has progressed as a technological tool, and college policies have evolved to adopt its utility. Authors describe the components of ROGI, its implementation, and ways in which the process has changed over the first four years of use. They present research to articulate how technology-mediated processes introduced new ways of thinking about traditional approaches to teacher education and new challenges that accompanied this innovation. Authors conclude with recommendations for future research and how other researchers might embrace the potential of emerging technologies in preparing teacher educators.
