Teachers TV, funded by the Department for Education but operated by an independent media consortium, produced 3,500 videos for professional development in schools until its closure in 2011. The programmes produced have since been made available via other sources for free online viewing or download, and the addresses for access are given on the DfE website. The Teachers TV programmes support the professional development of anyone working in school, enabling them to widen their skills and develop their practice. The sources currently hosting the videos are, SchoolsWorld.tv, and Laser Learning.
