How to become a Pilot School
Launch Event
Date: Wednesday 10th July 2019
Time: 10am-4pm
Location: Donald McIntyre Building, Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge
This event gave pilot teachers a first look at the Amarantus resources, training in using them, and the chance to meet our collaborators, including Caroline Lawrence and Dr. Sophie Hay.
The programme included:
- the pedagogy behind Amarantus and how it fits into the KS3 curriculum
- Caroline Lawrence on her creative process in crafting the story of Amarantus
- Sophie Hay on the cutting edge research that the materials are based on
- information on how to teach the materials and the subject knowledge necessary to do so
Online Training and Updates
If you couldn't attend the Launch, don't worry! We will soon be facilitating online training sessions.
