This was posted on the CABE Education Network if you know anyone interested... Rosemary Silvester Bristol Magpies (supporters Bristol City Museums & Art Gallery) Dear CABE Education Network, To all Secondary teachers of Geography, Citizenship, Art & Design and Design & Technology On Tuesday I will be sending out tender specifications for the development of some curriculum resources. I wondered if you would be interested in them, or knew of anyone you thought might be. We are looking for an individual or team to develop practical guides to making the most of the buildings, places and spaces in the local area for Key Stage 3 & 4. These guides will form part of a wider programme of work around school trips entitled 'Getting out there'. We would like to commission individuals or teams to develop one for geography, one for art & design, one for citizenship and one for design & technology. Given the limited time scale (these guides must be printed up by end of march) we envisage that we will commission a separate individual or team to develop each resource. We are looking for contractors that have recent or current experience of classroom teaching in each of the stated subject areas at key stage 3 & 4 and experience in and writing for an education audience. Ideally they will also have experience of using the built environment as a learning resource. To help guide this process we are setting up an advisory panel. Involvement is not too onerous as I anticipate that all communication will be done by email and phone rather than through face-to-face meetings. Members of the panel would be asked to: Comment on the initial proposal from the writer/researcher (w/b 29th Nov) Review an early draft of the final publication (End of Feb) Attend a launch event if practical (April) This should amount to less than half a day in total. Again, we are looking for recent or current experience of classroom teaching in each of the stated subject areas at Key Stage 3 & 4 and, ideally, experience of using the built environment as a learning resource. Furthermore we are looking for teachers who have best practice examples of taking students out into the built environment (on school trips in the local area) to enhance their learning. If you are such a teacher, or know of someone who is, would you be interested in telling us about your experience so that we can put it up as a case study on a soon to be developed section of our website which will be devoted entirely to 'Getting out there' and learning in the built environment. Please let me know if you are interested in any of the above. An early response would be most appreciated as we are sending out the specifications on Tuesday 2nd November. Many thanks and with kind regards Nicola Nicola Lithgow Education Advisor CABE Education Foundation The Tower Building 11 York Road London SE1 7NX T: 020 7960 2491 F: 020 7960 2444 E: [log in to unmask] W: www.cabe-education.org.uk __________________________________________ ---------------------- R Silvester, School Chemistry [log in to unmask]
