Teachers TV was a UK government–funded educational website and free-to-air distance education television channel that operated from 2005 to 2011. It provided professional development videos and support materials for teachers, school leaders, trainee teachers, and other education staff.
The service aimed to raise educational standards and support continuing professional development, with all content available free of charge. Teachers TV was funded by the Department for Children, Schools and Families and operated independently of government editorial control. Funding was withdrawn in 2011, after which the service ceased operations, though much of its content remains available online.
