Classroom Swap!

Is the title of the video, that I watched in www.teachers.tv . This video is about how two secondary English and Drama teachers organize a classroom. They have to exchange classrooms for the day. The teachers are Ilma Hammond, who teaches at Heston Community College in west London, and the second one is Georgina Stephens, who teaches at Greenford High School. Ilma Hammond tries to incorporate to her classes movements, and drama, but its difficult to her, because she doesn’t have access to the drama studio, and she has to do her activities in the classroom. A completely different way to teach, it has Georgina Stephens, she organizes the room, in a way that the students can help each other. In this video, we have the opportunity to look at their different styles to organize a class, and they pick good ideas about organization from the other teacher. I think it’s really interesting to know, how a colleague do his/her job, because you can learn from him/her. A teacher told me, very single classroom have a different way to communicate. They have different dictionaries. So it’s good for us, as a teachers, know different classroom realities.
