Sunday at the Movies (Alberta)
These two videos were made by a UK production company hoping to find out why Alberta students do so well on international comparisons of student achievement. These videos, both about 20 minutes long, have been broadcast throughout the UK and form part of a series on Teachers TV. The first one emphasizes the role of school autonomy and school choice in Alberta’s success, and the second one zeroes in on teacher accountability and professional development. Both are eye-opening.


Thanks for these references!
Over the holidays, I watched the Teachers TV feature on Finland. Interesting perspective on a successful system.
