Music for Teachers

Two training days have been planned for all schools in South Shropshire (April 7th) and Shrewsbury (April 8th) to work together to review schemes of work to support the changes in the new curriculum for music, to be launched for year 7 in September 2008.

You will receive details of the agenda and venues for the day from your school. I hope these prove to be interesting days and also times when we can work together to redesign units of work.

For Shropshire secondary music teachers the next network meeting will be entirely devoted to practical work based on updating schemes of work in line with the new orders.

This network meeting will be on November 6th from 1:00-4:00pm at the Shrewsbury Training and Development Centre.
