The
Who Do We
Think We Are?
educational programme engages primary and secondary school teachers in the
exploration of identity, diversity and citizenship with children and young
people. Learn about the
opportunities this initiative offers the sector and how to get involved. For staff managing and delivering life
long learning programmes in MLAs.
Some might say that working
in partnership is the 'new black'.
Partnerships can be formed to develop new types of education work; to
reach new audiences; to help local authorities in delivering their strategies
for sustainable cohesive communities and, on a larger scale, enable MLAs to play
a role in Local Strategic Partnerships.
Some partnerships may have funding or income implications and so have
added importance.
The session will look at
good practice in forming partnerships and how to get the most out of them and
would be suitable for anyone who has a role that is either partly or wholly
external facing. Presented by Brian
King until recently Principal Consultant, Cultural Services Improvement Project
for the Improvement and Development Agency.
MLA
North West has invited to Sue Temple, Senior Lecturer in Primary History at
Cumbria University, to brief colleagues on how the changes will impact on our
formal learning programmes for Key Stage 1 and 2 and to outline what potential
challenges and opportunities the changes will bring.
