Education in archives: conference
Date: Tuesday 27th October 2009
Time: 09:30 –
16:45
Venue: St. Bride’s
Institute, Bride Lane, Fleet Street, London
The National Curriculum is not a static document and has
evolved considerably over the past ten years. Recently the Qualifications and
Curriculum Development Agency (QCDA, formally QCA) have published reviews of
the primary and secondary National Curriculums for England and have made
considerable changes to the content and wider frameworks of the curriculums.
These have resulted in different approaches to the National Curriculum being
established by schools.
These changes have an impact on the education work that
archive services deliver to the education sector so it is important that
services are prepared and can tailor their programmes to match the new
curriculum.
This one day conference will give an overview of the
primary and secondary curriculum reviews; highlight best practice between
archive services and education providers; and provide delegates with the skills
and knowledge to develop new education programmes.
There will be speakers from the:
·
John Sparrow, Head of Curriculum Partnerships and Evidence at QCDA
will give a presentation the curriculum review
·
Michael Riley, Director of the Schools History Project, will give
a presentation on how schools are using archives on local, national, and
international level
There will also be a number of
workshops run by archive services including:
·
Mary Mills, Consultant who has worked with English Heritage, on
using internet archive resources in education
·
Andrew Payne, The National Archives, on using new technologies in
archive education programmes
·
London Metropolitan Archives on
using your archival resources to engage with pupils
