Description

Wouldn't it be great if teachers had the opportunity to produce their own videos and have them broadcast on Teachers TV? Well, that's what Action! Teacher Video is all about; and in this episode you can see a video created by Tim Taylor and Emma Hamilton-Smith called The Nelson Explorers Club. This video looks at the use of drama to explore history at Tuckswood First Community School in Norfolk. Tim and Emma are shown with their year 2/3 class using an approach to imaginative enquiry called Mantle of the Expert that is based on the work of renowned educator Dorothy Heathcote. Presenter Xanthe Steen is joined by Tim and Emma in the studio and with education consultant Adrienne Jones and fellow teacher Chris Mooney, they discuss the contents of the video. They discuss the various roles played by teachers and pupils and reflect on how Teacher Video could be used for assessment and CPD.
