Description

Wouldn't it be great if teachers could 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 Jacky Wood called 'The Teaching of Early Communication Skills for Children with Severe Learning Difficulties'. This video features classroom scenes from Lexden Springs Special School in Essex, and looks at a personalised curriculum for children with severe and profound learning difficulties. Presenter Xanthe Steen is joined in the studio by Jacky, education consultant Adrienne Jones and fellow teacher Lisa Rees, to discuss the project. They talk about the use of video to record and assess pupil progress and help with teacher confidence and CPD. They also consider how video gives the wider school community an important insight into teaching and learning in this challenging context.
