> of evaluative methods.

> Making Collaboration and Collections work for Secondary Schools: Wednesday
> 26th September 2007
> How can we harness the expertise in our own organisations? Curators and
> educators discuss the benefits of collaborating together on projects with
> secondary schools aimed at engaging students with objects. The session

> access to collections and interpretation as well as the vocational
> benefits to students on offer in the sector when thinking about future

> secondary learning is an important factor in building relationships with
> teachers and schools.
