Teachers’ TV joins the CALG

Teachers’ TV, the new digital TV channel for teaching professionals, has joined the group working to create the Creative Archive Licence.

Teachers'TV is the first television channel in Europe exclusively aimed at the school education sector. Through its broadband website the channel offers programmes to stream online or to download and will be adding new ones as they are transmitted.

Martin Trickey, Head of Interactive for Teachers’TV, says “With more than 400 programmes available to watch online, Teachers' TV is already building an archive of great programmes for everyone in the education sector. The Creative Archive will give us a fantastic framework in which to share this content and allow others to use and develop it in schools.”

Funded by the Department for Education and Skills, but editorially independent of government, Teachers’TV launched in February 2005. It aims to improve standards in teaching and school education in England by providing professional training and development programming, education news and current affairs, classroom observation and analysis and programmes for use in the classroom. Programmes take viewers inside classrooms and schools across the country to see how teachers are bringing the curriculum to life.

There's more about Teachers’TV including programmes to watch and download, on the channel's website.
