"Dr Shini Somarathne presents a run-down of the Top Ten experiments that go wrong for teachers. Compiled by CLEAPSS, the school science support service, our team will show what happens when experiments don't go according to plan, as well as giving some alternative approaches to classic experiments.
Guiding us through the Top Ten are three expert chemists; Dr Colin Osborne from the Royal Society of Chemistry, and Dr Kay Stephenson and Bob Worley from CLEAPSS. Under their guidance we see the problems associated with cracking hydrocarbons, white phosphorus, making chlorine gas, and making copper sulfate crystals. Our experts also give some top tips to make your science experiments a success."

"Alberta in Canada has the highest performing schools in the English speaking world. In this film we explore the roots of the region?s success - accountability, curriculum and teacher professionalism.
The programme reveals the remarkable standards of professionalism expected for Alberta's teachers, and the constant pressure to be the best, for the teachers as well as the students.
We also look at the strict systems of accountability, and the openness with which the local school board reveals results, warts and all, to the media. We also look at the rigorous preparation and planning that goes into the curriculum,
The programme talks to Angus Macbeath, a recent public schools administrator, who has some stark advice for the UK. He tells the programme ?You have to have a brutal honesty around how badly you?re doing. The only way you can change Britain is to start embarrassing people with the ugly truth. The ugly truth is the poorest are getting screwed.?"

With the deputies gone, a new leadership team takes charge at Daubeney Primary School. But the demands of last term have caught up with Wanda, the new headteacher, and shortly after Easter she falls ill. In her absence the three new assistant heads are left to hold the fort. It isn't just Wanda who is off sick but 12 other members of staff as well.
When Wanda returns it is clear there is a lot of work to do. The Early Years teaching is entirely overhauled and teachers and teaching assistants are retrained to work with a more child-centred approach. Some staff find the challenges difficult and Wanda feels she still doesn't have a team.
With the help of the Learning Trust Wanda reviews the school's planning policies. The relentless pressures are taking their toll on everyone and predictably Wanda questions why she became a headteacher, but when she thinks of all the children she is helping, she remembers what attracted her to the top job.

It is an idea born in the USA, where around 15 thousand ex-military personnel have become teachers and done their bit in some of America's toughest inner-city schools.

"Tyssen Community School rates Reception teacher Rachel Atkins as 'good'. As part of our challenge we bring in top inspector Clare Gillies to assess one of Rachel's Reception class sessions. The inspector's feedback after Rachel's morning session highlights some clear areas for improvement. Rachel also gets feedback and advice from Teachers TV online community who watch footage of the session, which has physical development as its learning goal.
She's then off to our 'clinic' to get some one-to-one CPD from early years consultant Hilary Bell to work on pedagogy. Plus Rachel gets some tips from our presentation and communications expert Mo Shapiro. She then has just three weeks back in the classroom to put all their advice into action before inspector Clare Gillies returns to observe a second session and deliver her final verdict. Will Rachel make the grade? Does Rachel raise her game sufficiently to go from 'good' to 'outstanding'"

"John Bayley works with two Year 3 teachers on peer observation. Experienced teacher Sarah and recent NQT Sophia teach the same literacy lessons but in very different styles.
Sarah notices that during Sophia's lesson some children are distracted during the lengthy feedback sessions and suggests that the adoption of talk partners would improve their focus and quicken the pace.
When sitting in on Sarah's lesson, Sophia is impressed by the way the children are encouraged to come up with their own success criteria before embarking on a piece of work. John also points out to Sophia how Sarah makes good use of higher level questioning.
Having found the experience valuable, Sophia is keen to put the new ideas into practice and to continue observations in the future."

This programme looks at the vital importance of teamwork and the results gained by teachers rejecting old-fashioned methods of working summed up by the old adage of 'shutting the classroom door and getting on with it'.
Headteacher Carole Couch talks about how she and colleagues turned round a failing school - Priory Lane Junior School in Lincolnshire, thanks in part to successful teamwork. The programme also looks at how teachers, support staff and the leadership team worked together successfully on a literacy project after the literacy co-ordinator became concerned about attainment. The same principles of teamwork and collaboration are applied to the successful running of the school's nurture group for vulnerable children. And the programme looks beyond the school gates to show how teamwork is now being applied to networks of schools in the local area which may have common concerns or shared aims.

Two headteachers visit each other's schools to discuss their individual approaches to improving behaviour and promoting understanding between pupils.
Eileen Ross was featured in the programme Challenging Children and runs a system of assertive discipline at Herbert Morrison Primary in Lambeth. The system places emphasis on good behaviour and achievement, not on punishment and discipline.
Nicky Rosewell was featured in the programme Transactional Analysis and introduced transactional analysis as an aid to improve behaviour in her school, Grange Middle in Harrow. This system educates children to assess and learn from situations using popular psychology.
The two headteachers compare and contrast each other's policies, revealing why each believes their own approach best suits their own circumstances.
