Description
In St Boniface's College in Plymouth teacher Paul Scott has a very special group of pupils drawn from across the year groups. They have been using video cameras in the classroom to record the teaching and learning taking place and then commenting on the experience from the pupils point of view. They have devised criteria and a marking scheme for deciding what a teacher is doing well or not so well and then used this to give feedback to the teacher involved - a session that is also recorded on video.All of this is included in a unique pupil video which is shown in this programme and then discussed by pupils and teachers with consultant Adrienne Jones. The views of senior management as well as the staff directly involved seems to support making this an established part of engaging with pupils and improving their experience of school. The jury's out on whether it should be part of more formal assessment and performance management but so far the risk is definitely worth taking.
