Description

At Hook CE Primary School Head Teacher Janet Huscroft aims to develop lively, enquiring and creative minds through schemes of work that are based on transferable skills and a thematic approach. The school also takes a novel approach to curriculum time - there are no doors on the classrooms, no timetable and no fixed playtime! Class Teacher Di Meyer gives us an insight into their approach through the video she has made - called Hooked on Learning - that is her first use of video in the classroom. In the discussion that follows consultant Adrienne Jones is joined by Di Meyer, Janet Huscroft and another Headteacher, Kate Rowley, from a school in their local network. They explore the benefits of this creative approach on pupils learning, the impact on interpersonal skills, confidence and attitudes to school and learning.They also consider the wider implications of using Teacher Video for assessment and CPD and conclude that video is a key tool for them to use in the future.
