Building School – University Partnerships

This Guide Book is intended to both enable university staff to initiate partnerships working with local schools and to aid school staff in making contact with a university they wish to engage with.

Overview

Training For Teachers

Can you provide the teachers involved in the partnership with training opportunities? These may include:

 

• Subject knowledge enhancement related to the workshops you are working on.
• Networking events to meet likeminded teachers or researchers with something to offer.
• Details of any lessons and resources involved in teaching pupils to enable teachers to follow up their involvement in the classroom.
• Research in the classroom e.g. techniques, procedures and development of ideas.
• Information on training they may be able to access from other areas of the university (for example the MSLC).

 

It may be that you have identified a training need or a particular area for development that you would like your partnership with the university to address. If this is the case discuss it with the university staff that you are working with to give them the best opportunity to help you or your colleagues achieve this. Equally there may an area in which you feel able to offer training to researchers.
