BEd (Hons) Primary Final year students working in partnership with Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site staff
Our final year BEd (Hons) students are placed with one of the museum sites along the Derwent Valley World Heritage corridor: Masson Mills, Matlock; Arkwright’s Cromford Mill, Cromford; Belper Mill, Belper and the Derby City Museums including the Silk Mill. The students work collaboratively with museum staff to create educational resources to use with visiting schools.
Alternative Settings for Placements
The Training and Development Agency have been funding a 'Partnership Development Schools' (PDS) project which has been co-ordinated by the University of Cambridge, Faculty of Education since April 2008. The work has involved piloting various structures to support ITE providers in planning for trainee teachers to undertake some of their professional placement in a museum or gallery setting
Bloom!
The project aimed to provide ITT students with an opportunity to undertake a short placement in one of three Derby based museums, working in partnership with a range of creative practitioners. Participants worked together to plan, design and undertake a project in one of the museum sites in a way that would be of value to a school.

ITT and Libraries: Literature Matters
The overarching theme of the project was to support the development of independent reading in classrooms with a particular emphasis on diversity. Planning with the University tutors was key to the success of the project and the time invested in achieving a clear understanding of the course requirements was essential for SLS staff. University staff similarly appreciated gaining a clearer understanding of the offer that libraries are able to make and the value of the professional expertise available to students.
