Learning Advisers Scheme

We are looking for creative and enthusiastic teachers to join our Learning Advisers Scheme.

 At the Science Museum, when we develop new resources we make sure that they have been fully tested with teachers and their students. This ensures that they are reliable, practical, support the curriculum, and also that they have the ‘wow’ factor that will appeal to your students.

As a Learning Adviser, you will have the opportunity to help develop Science Museum resources. As a thank you, you will be the first to know about new developments at the Museum and receive invitations to special teachers’ events and specific gallery openings.

We will contact you when new projects are being developed. You can choose the projects you are most interested in and we will ensure that everyone on the list has the opportunity to be involved. Some projects will last just a few hours, others will be more long term and may span a whole year.

Current projects include:

Resource testing– we are constantly creating new classroom activities, workshops and shows, and we want them to meet your needs. Come along to resource testing,  try things out, and let us know what you think about them.

Focus groups – we run focus groups to enable us to judge the usefulness of things we are using already or intend to use.

Ideas generating – when working on specific themes we gather a group of experts like you to generate different ideas for resources, workshops and learning materials.

Course testing – to ensure that all new courses that are developed will meet your needs we want to test different sessions and potentially whole courses with you.

We hope that you will decide to join this scheme and see the benefits for yourself, personally and professionally.
