Dear all,

Learning Outside the Classroom: more support from the Heritage Sector Partnership

With funding from the Council for Learning Outside the Classroom the LOtC Heritage Sector Partnership (HSP) has developed some resources to help heritage organisations to:

• Improve their understanding of the Quality Badge Self Evaluation Form (SEF) and the Quality Indicators
• Review their learning services within the Quality Badge framework
• Develop their learning services
• Feel more confident about applying for the LOtC Quality Badge. 

The resources have been designed primarily for those organisations with limited education expertise and/or without the time or capacity to attend training.  They include useful tools such as:

• A glossary of terms for the Quality Indicators
• Fictional case studies describing good quality education practice in a variety of heritage organisations....and connecting that practice to the Quality Indicators
• Simple, practical guidance notes on how to develop your education service in key areas
• Real example documents such as booking forms, education policies etc. from a variety of heritage organisations.

The resources are available at www.gem.org.uk.

We would greatly appreciate your feedback on how useful you find these resources and whether or not they have met your needs.  Please take the time to complete and return the short evaluation form that accompanies the resources on the GEM website (also attached here).

If you have any queries about these resources, the work of the HSP, GEM or the Quality Badge, please contact the LOtC HSP Coordinator – [log in to unmask]
