Summary

How does the way we learn and experience art and science differ? Invisible Films has been commissioned by Creative Partnerships London South to document an educational experiment at Thomas Tallis School in South London. Inspired by The Helen Storey Foundation's science/fashion collaboration 'Creative Lab' the swap will involve a science teacher teaching an art lesson and an art teacher teaching a science lesson.

Creative Partnerships have recently informed Invisible Films that 'Teacher Exchange' film has influenced a 'cultural change' within Thomas Tallis school. Teachers were inspired to try other discipline swaps including a physics and a religious education teacher, and a geography and a PE teacher.

Distribution:

Teacher Exchange has been shown on Teachers TV and is available through The Helen Storey Foundation.
