a toolkit for PGCE

students

The programmes shown here have been selected from the vast range already produced by Teachers' TV and more are being made all the time.
They have been mapped across the primary and secondary age-phases, with many being useful to student teachers in both.

Many of them have also been listed against two of the three over-arching QTS Standards - knowledge and understanding and teaching.
The third - professional values and practice - applies to, and is vividly illustrated by, all of them. For full details of the Standards, go to the TDA website:
http://www.tda.gov.uk/teachers/professionalstandards/currentprofessionalstandards/qtsstandards.aspx

Some other programmes of interest and value have been listed as miscellaneous.

Many of the Teachers' TV programmes which don't appear on this list are also worth watching. Please find out more from the website: www.teachers.tv

Professional values and practice

Teachers' TV programmes show teachers and other education professionals at work. Everything they do reveals their
professional values in practice - in their work with children and young people, with parents, with their colleagues and
with the other education professionals who support and enhance their effectiveness. So please see all the
programmes listed below as illustrating - and inspiring - a strong commitment to professional values and an aspiration
to high levels of practice.
