Follow the learner - debate
Description
Follow the Learner is a unique experiment in allowing students to articulate their views and experiences of the educational system. The four main programmes followed the lives of four Year 8 pupils at Hove Park School in Brighton, from their perspective. They were filmed in lessons, around school and, at home, on specially installed personal video cameras. They reveal some fascinating insights into the so called Year 8 dip, and the learning experience generally. But how seriously should we take the views of young people? What insight do these films give us into the learning process, and as a result, should we as teachers be doing anything differently? Staff from the school, plus academics and representatives from the Local Authority, debate the issues. The programme is presented by the former head of Islington Green School, Trevor Averre-Beeson, who now works for the Edison Group.
