researchers will independently score all of the pilot VCD responses. If their agreement is less than 80%, discrepancies will be discussed and the scoring rubric will be revised. The two researchers will then independently score all responses again. This process will be repeated until their scores agree more than 80% of the time. Test-retest reliability will be determined by administering both versions of the VCD to approximately 20 pre-service teachers who are not involved in the project. Reliability will be achieved when there is greater than 80% agreement, on average, in the performance of individual teachers across the two versions

Like anexperienced carpenter, most experienced teachers have more tools in their box than they are ableto use on any particular project, not because they don’t care about the quality of the finishedproduct, but because the time available for those critical enhancements and finishing touches isvery limited. The carpenter and the teacher both must make daily decisions that balance valueadded against time invested. With this in mind, the concept of Two-Minute Follies has beendeveloped at West Point and adopted by Mississippi State as a means to motivate and teachstudents in an effective and time-efficient manner.The basic concept of the Two
