Burrenbeo Trust are running a 5-day summer course.
Burrenbeo Trust are running the 2017 DES approved 5-day summer course on the 3rd-7th July 2017.
The objective of this course is to provide primary schoolteachers, other educators, and people with an interest in place-based learning with some simple strategies and resources through which they can effectively integrate the learning resource of their local environment into the school curriculum. This course is based on ten years’ experience of ‘place-based education’ in the Burren through which scores of teachers and over 1000 schoolchildren have connected with their own locality as part of the highly interactive and experiential Ecobeo heritage programme.
The summer training course will cover strands of SESE history, geography and science subjects. Specific themes which will be explored in the field and classroom will include landscape, built heritage, cultural heritage, biodiversity and conservation. On completion of this course, teachers and heritage educators will have the skills and resources which will allow them to deliver an effective place-based educational programme to their students.
