The University's Secondary PGCE trainee teachers from the Drama with English and the English with Drama groups collaborate with the Knowledge Centre on a set of three short videos responding to the question: 'What makes an effective teacher?'The trainee teachers are used to thinking critically about what being a teacher means for them. We are very grateful to Pip Bishop, Lizzie Bowen, Melanie Hinks, Roisin Allen, Heather Jones, Sam Milnes, Stacy Knight, Mia Nolan and Rebecca Merriman for their work on this project.
