Supervisors are sometimes assigned to pre-service teachers who are placed in far-away schools, often in rural districts. It can be difficult or impossible for supervisors to observe these teachers enough, or perhaps at all, because of the distance. This article describes a single-subject case study that was conducted with two pre-service teachers in which they used video self-monitoring with guidance from their university supervisor to change a teaching behavior. Results showed that the process was effective in changing the behavior of pre-service teachers. We discuss the implications for supervisors and professional development intervention.
