Teacher CPD
Craven Museum currently offers 3 bookable CPD sessions for local primary teachers, linked to the Key Stage Two history curriculum.
- Consolidate and build upon your general and local subject knowledge
- Gain new ideas for engaging pupils in the classroom
- Explore the Craven Museum collection to see how your pupils can benefit from object-based learning
Sessions last 90 minutes. They can be delivered on-site at Craven Museum for up to 16 people (£53) or in your school/preferred setting as outreach for up to 30 people (£63). On-site sessions include refreshments and the opportunity to explore the museum beforehand or afterwards (subject to availability). Multiple schools are welcome to join together for sessions and split the cost.
Please note, you do not have to be Craven-based to book a CPD session, but mileage costs apply for outreach taking place outside a 20-mile radius from Skipton Town Hall.
