Description
Summary:In May 2007 Teachers TV filmed the lives of four Year 8 pupils at Hove Park Park Secondary School in Brighton. Six leading practitioners watch the films and give their frank opinions on what they feel the films reveal about the importance of gaining a better understanding of the student's point of view. They argue that listening more carefully to pupils could help solve some difficult learner problems, that structured dialogues can help them audit their skills and feel more confident about how to progress, and that teachers should be aware that research has shown that with the right support, students can talk about their learning needs in surprisingly sophisticated and helpful ways. The experts are:Corinne Franceschi, Deputy Head of Gable Hall SchoolPhil Beadle, consultant and authorHeather Flint, former Headteacher of Waldegrave SchoolTom Barwood, education consultant Brin Best, education consultant and author Helen Todd, Edison achievement adviser.
