David Leat @davidjkleat (Professor of Curriculum Innovation) will introduce the event and be sharing ideas on the completed guide to community curriculum making. There will also be a keynote from Professor Mark Priestley @markrpriestley of Stirling University on ‘Teacher agency: creating the conditions for meaningful curriculum development’
From mid-morning to lunch, there will be table seminars that attendees can choose from. Some topics include, ‘Teachers and partners planning together’, ‘Working with industry’, ‘Finding resources in your community’ and ‘Using technology to support enquiry/project based learning’. Our director, and senior academic researcher at the university, Dr. Ahmed Kharrufa @ankharrufa, will be hosting one of the seminars.
The new ‘Herschel Learning Lab’, which is now open for bookings, can be explored on the day. The room is set to be used for collaborative activities which involve small groups of students working on tasks like problem-solving, debate and presentation preparation.
