The Teaching Channel is a video resource focused on teachers' classroom practice -- the website is connected to the TV show that airs regularly on PBS. Through the site, educators can watch videos of teachers working in their classrooms as as way to learn from, and provide feedback to, peers in their profession. The site's platform also gives teachers a space to share lesson ideas and strategies across a fairly broad range of subjects and grade levels. New videos are added periodically, helping the overall collection grow. Additionally, the site's new Teaching Channel Teams platform functions as a private space for professional development among smaller, closed networks of teachers. It's essentially a more personalized version of the site's public video-PD model, geared toward individual schools or even departments within a school. Teachers can use Teams to connect and share videos of their practice within a small group setting. This creates a safe and supportive place for mentors and coaches to work with new teachers and teaching interns, but could also support collaborative groups of veteran teachers looking to learn from one another.
