Summary
Action! Teacher Video is a unique showcase of videos made by teachers and pupils about their work and learning in schools. In this episode, teachers Tim Taylor and Emma Hamilton-Smith create a video called The Nelson Explorers Club which looks at the use of drama to explore history.
Tim, Emma and their Year 2/3 class from Tuckswood First Community School in Norfolk use an approach 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, along with education consultant Adrienne Jones and fellow teacher Chris Mooney, to discuss the contents of the finished video.
They discuss the various roles played by teachers and pupils and reflect on how teacher videos could be used for assessment and CPD.

This is a very exciting and potentially successful way of teaching subjects like History, as it allows children to empathise with people from the past and learn key facts. However, before this type of lesson could be used, children would have to have carried quite a lot of research to be familiar with the topic in hand.
A great little video with normal children doing normal things!

Just dipped in as short of time. But I like the idea of teachers using video, on teachers' TV. This kind of experimentation is cutting edge! The video material felt very authentic and it was good to see teachers analysing issues around teaching and learning in the focused way provided by use of video. A pity we never really have time to do this kind of thing in our normal professional week.
