New Project: Developing a World View

This exciting new project will allow a group of primary teachers to consider Glasgow museum collections as a stimulus for exploring topical global issues with children. It will develop creative enquiry-based teaching and learning opportunities to enable children to achieve many of the 'Curriculum for Excellence' outcomes.

People in MuseumThe project will form a 'community of enquiry' made up of teachers, museum staff, and a WOSDEC global education worker and be in conversation with a Glasgow QIO.

In its first year it will involve teachers of Upper Primary children. It is envisaged that there will be 5 full days out of class over the year with cover paid by the project. Participants will be expected to trial and develop approaches in their classrooms.

If you are interested in becoming involved or would like more information please get in touch with Lynn Baxendale: lynn.wosdec@btconnect.com
