Teacher Training
The Royal Highland Education Trust (RHET) holds Teacher Training sessions across Scotland.
The purpose of these sessions is to demonstrate and explain to teachers the many ways that RHET's free services to schools can supplement classroom topics and link to A Curriculum For Excellence.
A typical session consists of:
- Introduction to the work and free services of RHET
- Discussion about how teachers can use farm visits and estate days to supplement farming and countryside topics
- explanation of how RHET's farm visits and classroom talks support the existing Environmental Studies Guidelines and link to the Curriculum for Excellence, Determined to Succeed and the Eco Schools programme
- Demonstration of RHET free resource materials and identify how these can supplement work in school
- Explanation about how farm visits are organised and the Health & Safety procedures (risk assessment)
All teachers will receive a pack to take home with them, including free resources and all the information needed to book a Classroom Speaker Talk and Farm Visit.
These sessions are hosted by RHET staff from the local area for teachers in a specific local authority.
