Alex Dolan is a journalist and science teacher who went undercover for six months in British schools as a supply teacher for the filming of a Channel 4 documentary, Undercover Teacher, exposing the poor behaviour of children in some areas of the education system. She secretly filmed her classes for the Channel 4 documentary. [1]
She was suspended from teaching for one year by the General Teaching Council because she 'breached student trust'.[2] and the decision has received criticism from both teachers and commentators.[3]
More recently, Dolan has been employed as a presenter on Sky's Ocean TV programme Ocean Rescue . [4] and is now covering maternity leave, of BBC Look East's Julie Reinger, presenting lunchtime weather and evening forecasts.
