ICITE - IRIS Connect

We’re excited to be exploring the use of IRIS Connect within our ITE programmes.

All our primary and secondary students are using IRIS Connect as part of their practicum experience. They record themselves using a state-of-the-art system designed for initial teacher education and annotate the videos, noticing key aspects of their emerging teaching practice. They then reflect on and discuss the teaching practice in an iterative way, with their supervisor, with you if you’re open to it, and for our secondary cohorts, with each other after the practicum.

After extensive trialling between 2021 and 2023, we are now integrating the deeper reflective practice enabled by this tool into our programmes, including on campus courses.

We’re working directly with school leaders to ensure partner schools are satisfied about the safeguards that are in place. If you have questions about your student teacher recording themselves in your classroom, speak to your schools ITE liaison officer, or your school leader.
