Engaging the learner
Description
In May 2007 Teachers TV filmed the lives of four Year 8 pupils at Hove Park Park Secondary School in Brighton: Robert, Louise, Bradley and Jack. Six leading practitioners watched the films and give their frank opinions on what they feel the films reveal about shaping teaching to best fit the needs of individual students.They argue that pupils do not learn effectively from teaching to the middle and they suggest that pupils learn best at the edge of their comfort zone in lessons that stretch and extend their thinking. They suggest improvements to the learning environment as well as differentiation as ways to achieve this.The experts are: Corinne Franceschi, Deputy Head of Gable Hall School and former SSAT adviser Phil Beadle, consultant and author Heather Flint, former Headteacher of Waldegrave School Tom Barwood, education consultant Brin Best, education consultant and author Helen Todd, Edison achievement advisor.
