Looking for videos of teachers teaching

HI all,
I'm trying to find some clips of teachers actually teaching in the classroom. This is for mentors-in-training to be able to do observations in a protected setting. Looking for 6-10 minute segments on the elementary, middle, and high school levels -- just straight documentary type footage, no interview, no explanation -- just teachers teaching. Teaching does not have to be exemplary -- ordinary folks are just fine.
If you are aware of any such clips online, I'd be very grateful if you could send me the urls, either on or off-line.
Thanks very much.

By the way, I like very much the movie about "Fear of new technology" - you should show newbies at the beginning.
Cheers
Hans

Hi Jim,

You might want to use this video as an inspirational starter.
What Do Teachers Really Make? Taylor Mali Explains...

Mali ends his video addressing his audience, “ I make a damn difference. What about you?” One might ask trainees and teachers to add one or two ideas to Mali’s list on how they they think might make a difference.

Other teaching videos abound in youtube, as Hans suggests, with varying degrees of quality and professionalism or otherwise; here are just a couple of examples:

A video series about teaching verbs:
