Would you like to help trainee teachers to develop their understanding of partnership working, learning outside the classroom and creativity?

Could you offer placements to trainee teachers in your setting?

Teaching Outside the Classroom supports the development of placements for trainee teachers in settings other than schools. The website helps you set up and evaluate placements, and provides case studies of existing good practice.

Teaching outside the classroom is the use of settings other than schools for teaching and learning.

Settings other than schools are a diverse range of organisations that engage with children and young people’s learning, from museums and galleries to sports and football clubs, city farms, and environmental centres.

ITT providers include universities and other higher education institutions as well as consortia of schools that provide graduate teacher training programmes.

Placements for trainee teachers in settings such as theatres, museums, outdoor education centres and sports clubs expose trainees to new professional relationships that improve teaching and learning.

By supporting the development of partnerships between ITT providers and a diverse range of educational settings, Teaching Outside the Classroom aims to:

• develop the creative skills of teachers and pupils through partnership working
• provide meaningful learning experiences for young people
