IRIS

IRIS Connect is a video-enabled professional learning platform that the Leigh Academies Trust has invested in. It gives teachers the opportunity to record classroom-based teaching and learning using the Discovery Kit, and capture online teaching using our IRIS Connect App and integrated screen-capture tools. All videos are securely transferred to the teacher’s personal, password protected account on the cloud-based platform. From there, teachers can reflect on teaching and learning, analyse practice, add time-stamped comments, edit their videos and – if they want to – share with colleagues such as a menor, coach or leader for feedback. All staff, especially ITT / NQT are encouraged to use this incredibly powerful teaching tool, however it is not a compulsory element of our professional development offer.
