Seeing Learning Better

Dr John Etty, Auckland Grammar School, Auckland
2019 Bright Spots Awardee

Concerned that beginner teachers were not receiving the support and mentoring they needed to best develop their practice, Auckland Grammar School’s Director of Teaching & Learning, Dr John Etty, developed a more impactful way of providing guidance to classroom newcomers. The project will see the installation of video cameras in classrooms to better capture classroom practice, and the creation of a professional development package that helps teachers interpret the videos to enhance their teaching.
