Course Description
A half-day training session developed and delivered by teachers, teacher trainers and outreach staff to:
- Prepare researchers for the secondary school environment,
- Help researchers make the transition from one-way public speaking to developing and delivering dialogic, interactive workshops aimed at school pupils,
- Equip researchers to use their specialist knowledge as a tool to ‘get children thinking’.
Before attending, as part of the course registration, we ask you to think about and share with us:
- What is your current experience of working with schools and colleges?
- What are you hoping to achieve through attending the course?
After?each course has run we will offer two follow-up?drop-in sessions?where you can?continue to consult public engagement, outreach and education experts about your ideas for activities. You can also share ideas or ask questions any time via the School-University Partnership Officer (SUPO) .
Target Audience
The session is aimed at researchers and research students with some public speaking/outreach/engagement experience who would like to progress to developing hands-on, interactive activities/workshops based on their research to engage school pupils.
It is recommended but not essential that participants have attended the LifeLab ‘Meet the Scientist’ training ,?the Introduction to Public Engagement training session by PERu?or similar?e.g. an Introduction?Public Engagement through?the Spitfire programme .
Bespoke sessions can be arranged e.g. for specific subject areas or activities - please send your request to the SUPO .
