Model School - Teacher CPD and Resource
Are you making the most of your school building? Would you like to learn more about how to use architecture as a teaching resource to deliver the Curriculum for Excellence? Architecture and Design Scotland offer daytime and twilight CPD sessions in your school to give staff the tools and ideas they need to really make the most of their own school building and deliver built environment education without having to leave the school grounds. Learn to look at your space in a new and exciting way.
This CPD opportunity enables teachers to deliver the 'Model School' project developed by architects Kathy Li of Strathclyde University and Andy Campbell of Dress for the Weather. The project involves a series of lesson plans which cover all areas of the Curriculum for Excellence taking students from a basic understanding of architecture through to completing a design for their ideal school building.
All the materials are available for download above and we would love to see what your class has produced on our GLOW group so please upload any photos and or film you have as a result of the 'Model School' project here.
The first series of twilight workshops are took place in May 2011 and were very well received.
A Glow Meet with Kathy Li explaining the project is available to watch again here. You will need to log into Glow to see this.
