Dear all,
The Learning Outside the
Classroom Heritage Sector Partnership (HSP) has been funded by the Council for
Learning Outside the Classroom to develop some materials for teachers to help
them make the most of learning opportunities in heritage settings.
There is some very basic,
introductory guidance for teachers in the LOtC Out & About package – http://www.lotc.org.uk/Out-and-about-guidance/How-do-we-organise-learning/Framework-for-planning-LOtC-experiences/Where-and-when/Heritage-sites
But we would like to add to
this resource focusing on particular areas of value to teachers. For
example:
·
The benefits and
practicalities of learning in certain (under-used) settings i.e. archives,
libraries etc.
·
How heritage
learning can support the changing curriculum – EYFS, primary, secondary
(diplomas etc)
·
Learning about
local history – using the local environment
·
Skills-based
learning in heritage settings
There are probably many other
topics we should be considering.
If you are a teacher or
have worked closely with teachers, we would be interested in your thoughts and
suggestions for developing, expanding and prioritising this list? What resources would help teachers make the most of
heritage settings?
Please send your suggestions
to [log in to unmask]. If you
have any queries, please contact Fenella Hunt on 01634 853 424.
We look forward to hearing
from you.
Best wishes,
Fenella Hunt
