Come to Pitzhanger for a special Teachers’ CPD session in partnership with the University of West London.
Overview
This special free Continuing Professional Development (CPD) session for teachers and educators in all key stages explores how to use local cultural hubs, like Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery, as teaching resources across the curriculum. It’ll be a great opportunity to network with local teachers who are looking to support their students and develop their educational and cultural capital by engaging with their local university.
We really hope you can join us to discuss and explore this work in a fun, supportive environment with like-minded educators and practitioners.
About
Co-presented with the University of West London, educators will take part in a creative workshop with an artist practitioner from Pitzhanger and a practical workshop with an academic from UWL.
First, artist and educator Lucy Eccles will lead a creative workshop instructed by a sample lesson plan interacting with Pitzhanger Manor’s unique spaces and vibrant architectural history. This lesson plan will be available to all participants after the session, suitable for a variety of key stages. This workshop will teach you the tools to be able to be adapt Lucy’s architectural analysis of Pitzhanger to any space explored.
Then, University of West London academic will explore the architecture of the historic house and design genius of the man, Sir John Soane who resided inside. This will be applied to contemporary life and culture, making it a rich source of inspiration for educators and young people alike.
This session is open to teachers in any key stage and subject, though with a particular focus on art teachers. Educators working in out-of-school settings are also welcome to attend.
Light refreshments will be provided in this session and we will ensure time is carved out for networking.
