Teachers TV

Teachers TV is the television channel for everyone working in schools, from newly qualified teachers (NQTs) to headteachers, governors to support staff. It's a window into other classrooms, and an opportunity to see what's going on in schools across England.

Teachers TV is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week on digital satellite and cable channels and Freeview. Most programmes are also available to view and download online. For programme listings and more, visit the Teachers TV website at: www.teachers.tv.

Teachers TV programmes are designed to provide continuing professional develoment (CPD) resources for teachers at all stages of their careers. They can also be used as a starting point for discussions on teaching technique, behaviour management or whole school strategies.
