Video In Classroom Guidelines

Teachers must obtain permission from their building administration before showing a full-length video in their classroom.

To obtain permission, teachers will fill out the Intent to Show video form linked below.

Building administrators will review the 'intent' applications and reply directly to teachers.

The WHS library can help teachers with obtaining the video for classroom use.

At Winfield High School:

• Teachers must obtain video approval each year.  Approvals do not remain on-file.

• Teachers are expected to adhere to video use copyright guidelines.  The video must be legally obtained. (Consult with your LMS.)

• Videos can not be used as a reward; they must be tied to the curriculum.

• Each teacher showing the video must obtain approval (no dept. level approvals).

• Approval is needed for any full-length video; the expectation is that teachers will not show any video in full length without incorporating instruction throughout the video.

• Teachers should consider the rating of the video and obtain parental permission showings if content contains controversial materials.

• Teachers do not need to obtain permission for video showings from district content providers (Discovery Education, Gale Databases, Britannica School, and videos licensed through curricular purchases).

• All video/media shown 5 minutes or less from legally obtained sources do not require permission.
