The RICA Video Performance Assessment requires the candidate to prepare three video packets, each of which includes (a) an Instructional Context Form, on which the candidate provides
information relevant to the video-recorded instruction, such as information about the students and a lesson plan; (b) a ten-minute video recording of the candidate providing reading instruction
to students; and (c) a Reflection Form, on which the candidate provides an appraisal of the video-recorded instruction, suggestions for further or alternative instructional strategies, and similar
information.
For one video packet, the candidate must demonstrate whole-class instruction; for another, small-group instruction; and for the third, individual instruction. As detailed in the procedures manual
registered candidates receive, one video packet should demonstrate competencies in RICA Domains 1 and 2, one should demonstrate competencies in RICA Domains 1 and 4, and one should demonstrate competencies
in RICA Domains 1 and 5.
