Background

Teacher Placement Scheme
Galleries are funded to host up to three teachers from non-visiting schools on placement for four days. By getting to know the gallery, its education programme and the opportunities for partnership working, the teachers and galleries are supported to organise student visits and build long term relationships. Gallery hosts attend planning sessions organised by engage.
Teachers receive 6 days cover payment to enable them to attend 2 days training orgnaised by engage, spend time at the gallery, plan and carry out a student visit and develop project work.

Gallery Educator Placements
Gallery educators are funded for nine days. They arrange a three-day placement in schools which regularly use galleries to gain knowledge of the curriculum, teaching and learning methods and how gallery visits impact on classroom teaching. Gallery educators attend three days of training with engage and receive three additional days funding to complete project work related to the placement.
