Summary:

At Whitefriars First and Middle School, Headteacher Lynne Pritchard has been instrumental in setting up a unique teacher training initiative in Uganda. The aim is to support and train teachers in Masindi through teacher exchanges, principally with her school in north London. In the Teacher Video shot on location in Uganda we see how this project is affecting teaching practice in Masindi and how the UK teachers have also gained from their experience as teacher trainers. In the discussion that follows, consultant Adrienne Jones is joined by Lynne; teacher-trainer Helen Davies; co-founder of the project, Ronnie Katzler, and a visiting teacher from Uganda, Isaac Kizito. What are the issues facing UK teachers trying to support colleagues in a very different context - that of a rural Ugandan school? How do the Ugandan teachers see the project and what impact is it having? How does making a video change the way they perceive children's reactions and the attitudes of teachers?
