Loading...Afterschool club open lesson slots – local experts get a gig to teach kids their craft
Lessons could be pottery, bird spotting, bush-craft, astronomy or anything. Just fill out the form and apply for a slot, ratings show how much the kids enjoyed your last gig – so schools know it’s a good lesson. It could be a way for people to get their expertise out to inspire young people before it is lost and would only require one member of staff there to introduce this week’s teacher.
Look at this though, in the UK after school clubs are seen as cheap childcare, rather than extra school activities. Shame, they could be so much more.
Great idea. There are countless locals who know crafts and subjects and would only need a slot and a bit of help from a teacher to inspire new generations with old skills and activities. Setting up a club looks difficult though according to this link. Schools should join a scheme to attract volunteer teachers for one-off classes.
