NQT Jenny Campbell gets live feedback and advice as she teaches her year 8 Science class on a Friday afternoon. You can see how she puts into practice advice on a range of behavioural issues, including how to focus on the learning not on disruptive behaviour, using a teaching position in the classroom, re-enforcing instructions, body language and the technique of providing pupils with simple choices. At Holyhead Secondary School in Birmingham we’ve filmed deputy head John Wootton as he uses ICT to dramatically impact the professional development of his teachers. Using hidden cameras and microphones he observes lessons without being in the classroom. From his office he is able to monitor how a teacher is managing a class and immediately support them with instantaneous feedback and advice via a wireless earpiece concealed in the teacher’s ear.
