Focussed support for your education and outreach work

 

The SCA is offering opportunities for Scottish archives to receive professional coaching and support from its Education Development Officer, Douglas Roberts. Archive services are invited to apply for up to three days of Douglas’s time and expertise, to assist with developing their education and outreach work.

 

Background

Over the past six years the SCA’s Education Development Officer Douglas Roberts has supported the development of education and outreach work in the archives sector in Scotland. This has been achieved through a programme of practical skills and information workshops, pilot projects, education materials development, one-to-one support and online resource provision.

 

Recently Douglas has worked closely with specific archive services to develop a secondary teaching resource about politician James Maxton, a set of drama workshops for Primary Schools in Argyll, and coaching in digitising and editing recorded sound archives for exhibition. SCA would like to offer this one-to-one support more widely through this Education Coaching Programme.

 

What’s on offer?

SCA will fund up to three days of professional input from its Education Development Officer to help develop and deliver your education and outreach work. This may be creating a specific education activity based on a collection, developing a schools or community project (or delivering an aspect of it), learning new skills, devising creative activities, or another project that will enhance your education and outreach work.

 

SCA will also support the promotion of the projects and activities through its various communication channels.

 

SCA is able to offer a maximum of three days of support. If your service would like to engage Douglas for additional time, this can be funded separately by your service or organisation.

 

Who can apply?

Archivists responsible for an archive based in Scotland can apply to the programme. This includes public, private and community-based archives.
