The Parents' Guide series explores what is going on in schools today and discusses some of the key issues from a parent's point of view.
In this programme, presenter Fiona Millar, parents David Taylor and Kathryn Kergozou, and Simon Gibbons from De Montfort University, discuss how English and maths are being taught in secondary schools.
They look at some Teachers TV programmes and see how these core subjects are presenting new challenges for teachers, pupils and, of course, parents. Viewers can hear the opinions of parents and gain an insight into what other schools are doing in this area. The panel look at a range of questions, including:
- What is a lesson like from an award-winning English teacher?
- How has teaching Shakespeare changed?
- What activities do teachers use in maths lessons?
- What is the best way to support your child's learning in maths?
