It was interesting to see Vicky Woolard's e-mail and I've contacted the teacher education mailbase about our ITT plans.
We're just beginning a limited teachers' needs analysis in relation to the Hadrian's Wall World Heritage Site. We (of course) feel that museum and site visits are a unique experience where children can find deep and memorable insights, and teachers can renew and refresh their own understanding through contact with site-based professionals. The fear is that teachers face increasing barriers to making such trips out of school, and any support given at ITT stage must be positive..
Any of your thoughts /experiences on this gratefully received.

(I should explain that HWTP is a partnership of museums and other agencies which own/manage the various parts of the Hadrian's Wall World Heritage Site. The HWTP Community & Education Team has a specific wall-wide brief to co-operate with and build on the strengths of individual sites and education officers employed by the various parters. We do not set educational policy or programmes for the indivdual sites or organisations.)
