Work Matters: Continuing Professional Development - How to be cultured

Careers & Training
A group is trying to boost the role of museums in children's learning, explains Karen Faux.

Museums, Libraries and Archives (MLA) is running a programme of continuing professional development activities, bringing together those who work in museums, galleries and archives with educators. The aim is to strengthen the role of museums and galleries in children's learning and development, and enhance the way they are used by practitioners, teachers and children.

Launched in September and running to next March, the programme will provide more than 2,000 opportunities for professionals to participate in workshops, seminars and mentoring activities that focus on Common Core skills. These include areas such as effective communication and engagement, safeguarding and promoting the welfare of the child, and sharing information.
