Closed Circuit TV footage is more meaningful with audio. Our experience with schools over the last couple of years has shown that most teachers, students and parents come to appreciate the silent, unbiased nature of the system.
The majority of time spent at school is in the classroom and not surprisingly this is where most of the issues arise and therefore there are many positive advantages to audio integration - but the classroom audio also provides an excellent opporunity for improving teaching standards through lesson study and mentorship programmes:
> Better assessing behavioural incidents
> Improving teaching techniques through lesson study programmes
> Significantly improving mentorship programmes
> Providing none invasive inspector critiques
> Protecting Teachers and students from malicious claims
> Eliminating verbal abuse
> Monitoring the effects of rowdy classrooms
