Cultural Learning: Planning a sequence of lessons around a visit to a cultural venue

Examples of cross-curricular planning by third year BA(Hons) Primary Teacher Education trainees 2022/23


During 2022/23 trainee generalist primary school teachers at Oxford Brookes University in the final year of their BA(Hons) course completed a short Cultural Placement with one of our cultural partners.  These experiences helped to support the trainees in developing a rationale for incorporating a school visit into a unit of work. Together with designing their own sequence of cross-curricular lessons based around a class visit to a cultural venue, and learning about the logistics of taking pupils off site, the trainees prepared a presentation to communicate the educational value of a specific visit.

The following examples of slide presentations produced by trainees were submitted for formal assessment. Two examples of documents prepared by the trainees linked to the presentations are given next to each.
