Teachers` TV - the new professional development channel for teachers - will launch today.
Funded by the Department for Education and Skills but editorially independent, Teachers` TV is aimed at helping busy education professionals with programmes that share ideas and practical experience. It will contain programmes of interest to all who work in schools, over a million people - from head teachers to newly qualified teachers, governors to support staff.
Programming will cover training and development, education news and current affairs, classroom observation and analysis, and resource reviews. Curriculum-based programmes for use in the classroom will also form part of the schedule. A Board of Governors, comprising senior educational and media figures, will ensure the editorial independence of the channel.
Teachers` TV will broadcast 24 hours a day, 365 days a year on digital satellite and cable, and overnight on Freeview. Teachers` TV programmes will be supported by an interactive website, containing downloadable resources (such as lesson plans and worksheets). Many programmes will also be available to view and download online.
Nigel Dacre, Chief Executive, Education Digital said: “Today marks the start of the countdown to the launch of the first ever government funded public service broadcasting channel for a professional group. It will help share the many great ideas, materials and excellent teaching practice that exist across the system and I believe it will become a valuable resource for the teaching profession.”
Schools Minister Stephen Twigg said: “Teachers` TV is a highly innovative way to make relevant professional support accessible to all those who work in schools. The channel is another key step forward in ensuring we make full use of digital technology to support teachers, teaching assistants, school governors and others in further raising standards in the classroom. By supporting educational professionals with a vision of good classroom practice, of good schools management in action, we can further improve standards throughout the system.”
Teachers` TV is operated by an independent media consortium, Education Digital - which was selected by the DFES after an extensive tender process.
