Introduction to the National Curriculum
Are you new to Heritage Learning or trying to develop a relevant learning offer that schools will want to book?
Without a background in education or teaching it is sometimes difficult to understand how the National Curriculum works and how you can build a learning offer that is relevant to it. This session will offer a whistle stop tour of the National Curriculum and the opportunities and challenges it presents for museums/ historical sites.
It will also give you time to consider ways in which your museums/ historical sites can deliver learning outcomes across different areas of the curriculum.
By the end of the session, delegates will:
Have an understanding of the National Curriculum
Be able to link this to a museum setting
Have an understanding of learning outcomes
Have met other members of the network at a similar position
The event will be facilitated by Mary Sibson, Creative Learning Officer for Creative Learning Services.
Who should attend?
This training is aimed at museum staff and volunteers working with schools.
Maximum two delegates per organisation. Priority will be given to delegates from non-NPO and non-National museums in the West Midlands which are Accredited or officially Working Towards Accreditation.
