Hi Amanda and All.
The most effective way to go about INSET is to contact your LEA. To 'hit'
the maximum number of teachers you could offer a CPD (continuing
professional development) day at your venue - include some practical tasks
for the teachers to do and a nice lunch! Your LEA may still have subject
specialist advisors / inspectors (up here in the North East they are
becoming rarer) who organise networking meetings for clusters of subject
specialist teachers eg geography, art etc.
I would also contact your regional MLA or Museums Hub who may have some
contacts or be able to organise a joint INSET / CPD event or conference
with a bigger budget.
Hope this helps, feel free to get in touch if you think I can help further.
Best wishes,
Sarah

Subject: INSET days
How do you go about organising INSET sessions? Do you call up the school
and
ask them (a) when their next INSET day is and (b) whether you can come and
give a 10-minute presentation about what you do and how a visit to your
museum/gallery/etc would be relevant? Or do you offer to run an INSET
session at your venue? Or does it differ from school to school?
any advice greatly appreciated!
Amanda
