She has co-authored the book "Using Video to Support Teacher Reflection and Development in ELT" with Steve Mann and Laura Baecher.

Her research interests lie in the areas of teacher development, video reflection, and reflective practice. In this episode, Cecilia touches on:

video-based observation as a form of development
how videos can foster more critical reflection
using video recordings in both the physical and digital classroom
why every teacher should record their own lessons - and then watch them
how video observation can be incorporated into pre-service training courses
why video observation reduces the hierarchical relationship of traditional observation and how it can foster community building
advice for new educators just getting started
