What is TeachingLive?

TeachingLive is a sequence of 10 live and fully interactive teaching sessions led by Pie Corbett, David Mitchell and John Sutton. Each session is delivered via Zoom (or YouTube livestream) straight into the classroom. The children will be tasked by the team to write during the session via devices (1 between 2 is fine) and the team will give live feedback to the children. At the end of each session the children will be given an extended task to complete before the following week’s session. Full lesson plans and notes are provided by the team before each session. Each session can have up to 60 classes taking part simultaneously, so we cannot guarantee that direct feedback will be given to your class. We try, as much as possible, to mention all schools taking part and we encourage teachers to contact us in advance of sessions to enable us to mention children who have tried really hard.

Important Note: Your class does not appear on camera during the session and there is no verbal interaction directly between the team and your students. All writing that appears on the screen during the sessions is moderated before it appears.

Requirements: An internet linked device with Zoom software or App installed, projector, speakers and screen (or large screen TV). Internet enabled devices such as tablets, laptops, Chromebooks etc. Ideally 1 to 1, but 1 to to, and even 1 to 3 works well. We always host a pre-season tech session so that you can test your links and devices – this will be notified to subscribing schools well in advance.

Here’s what one teacher said about TeachingLive!

“Every Monday morning the children bounce into class and take part in your sessions with a huge smile on their face. They long for their work to be read out and love the instant feedback they receive. I as a teacher just can’t believe how their attitude to writing has changed and I am so very proud of all of them.”
