What to Expect During Your VFT

What you'll see during your VFT

Here, a museum educator shares a video over Zoom of Vollis Simpson’s Wind Machine.

Your facilitator will:

  • be able to see and hear your classroom
  • share images on the screen
  • ask students questions about what they see in the images

Your students will:

  • look carefully
  • share their thoughts verbally (when called on)
  • use what they see to support their ideas
  • connect with museum objects and with each other
  • listen carefully when others are speaking
  • be respectful of new ideas & perspectives

You, the teacher will:

  • call on students to answer your facilitator’s questions
  • repeat student responses if audio is a problem
  • help to manage classroom volume & behavior so that everyone is heard
