Teachers TV was a fantastic resource. It was
jam-packed full of videos of excellent teaching practice across all
subjects, age ranges and ability levels, stimulating and engaging
in-class resources, examples of maths in the real world, studies of
how children learn and the most effective ways to address this, behaviour
management issues and strategies, and much, much more!
The bad news is that in the midst of all the budget cuts, funding
for Teachers TV was removed, and the website closed. The good news
is that TES
now hosts 3500 Teachers TV videos, so they are available to watch
again, completely free.
Due to rights issues, not all of the videos are here – most
notably the Maths for Real series, featuring a young Ben Shepherd
has been withdrawn by Channel 4 – but there is enough quality
to make this a really useful set of resources.
I have divided all the Secondary Maths videos up into the following
groups. I hope you find them useful
