Flashback on Teachers' TV
Teachers’ TV is a new digital channel aimed at the professional development of teachers and those who work in schools and Flashback TV is proud to have been producing programmes for them since their start in 2004. In fact, in the last three years we’ve produced close to 180 programmes for them – about 54 hours of television.
We have worked in schools all over the UK as well as in the US, the Middle East, Asia and Africa. In the UK we work closely with all the main education agencies at the highest levels, as well as a huge range of specialist experts. We have filmed regionally in over 125 schools with more than 410 teachers and 135 experts.
Our team of experienced education producers work over a range of subject areas, from observational documentaries about wide ranging education issues to programmes exploring specific aspects of a single lesson. We’ve made programmes exploring various roles in schools and specific issues of assessment, personalized learning and the Every Child Matters initiative. We’ve featured innovative teaching assistants as well as human rights lawyer Cherie Booth QC. We’ve spent a term following two primary NQTs (newly qualified teachers) as well as a term with an experienced History teacher. We’ve shown teachers how they can keep fit and healthy as well as ways to work with children experiencing family break-up. We’ve featured a huge range of contributors including some big names in the education world and we can even count Nobel Peace Prize winner Wangari Mathai amongst our contributors.
We are highly regarded for our observational techniques as well as excellent use of drama and creativity in programmes and for delivering top production values on small budgets. Our team members have won many awards including BAFTA, RTS and most recently the JAPAN PRIZE’s UNICEF award for ‘Inspirations: A West African Story’, in October 2007.
