Description
Developing a Local Curriculum Using Your Locality to Inspire Teaching and Learning by William Evans and Jonathan Savage is a practical guide for educators looking to create a curriculum that engages students with their local area. By exploring the geography, history, culture, and people of your community, you can enrich learning experiences and make them more relevant and meaningful. The book offers guidance on engaging with the local community in innovative ways, suggestions for cultural activities such as architecture, digital arts, theatre, and film, and effective partnerships with local businesses and charities. It also features detailed case studies from schools that have successfully implemented these approaches. This book aims to inspire educators to develop a curriculum that gives students a strong sense of connection with their local area and understanding of its past, future, and present.
