directed to the teacher, to the students, or both? |
Conclusion: 92% (23) of 25 teachers wanted the notes to be aimed at
the students and the teachers. They outlined the need for brief and simplified
child-friendly material that could be speedily processed by the teacher. This material
should also be able to be displayed.
Summary of findings:
25 teachers were asked this question. These are their responses.
- · 92% (23) of the teachers said that the new notes should be directed to both the
teacher and the students.

Some of the Quotes:
1. Some notes are often high faluting. Teachers aren't always specialists. The costume
ones were too detailed. There needs to be differentiation.
2. The notes need to be updated and simplified for both the teacher and the students.
There is too much information. They really are dreadful. An idea of how to use the loans
with the children would be helpful.
3. It would be nice to have something to put on display. Even things other teachers can
hand on to you: "This is...Have you noticed...?"
4. There is already a lot of information for the teacher but I don't have enough time to
go through it all. Maybe if I was sent some brief notes before the artefacts arrive? The
notes for the children would have to be able to be accessible to early years children.
5. Its not easy because you have a range of ages: lower junior, upper junior, secondary.
The current information is too dense. You just need a few things.
6. With a loan containing information about pottery and kilns it took quite a time to
extract the information into a form that was presentable to the students.
7. We liked the pictures that you had included in the loans boxes and are going to
photocopy some of them. We think they are very good. It would be useful to have them in
child friendly writing.

It would be good to have labels with the artefacts. More information would be good too
because you can't look up very easily detailed information about specific artefacts. For
instance, why is the lamp in a shape of a lion? How does it work?

10. Teacher J: User: Primary
We are hoping to update the information sheets about the objects in the near future. Who

But the sheets that are directed to the students need to be differentiated according
to whether they are in KS1 or KS2.
11. Teacher K: User: Primary
Should the new notes be directed to the teacher, to the students, or both?
Both
As long as the notes are clear to the teacher because the information will come from
the teacher - the labels and worksheets for the children. If you did something for the
children you would have to provide it for every key stage.
12. Teacher L: Non-user: Primary
Should the new notes be directed to the teacher, to the students, or both?
Both
Questions and information for students, differentiated for infants, lower juniors,
upper juniors, KS3 and KS4; but also teacher's notes. That way teachers could read the
students notes for a quick introduction and interview and then read the teachers notes if
they wanted more information.

Should the new notes be directed to the teacher, to the students, or both?
Both
Its not easy because you have a range of ages: lower junior, upper junior, secondary.

Two separate notes: a detailed set for teachers and a differentiated, multi-purpose
set for the students.

17. Teacher Q: User: Secondary

students.

20. Teacher T: User: Secondary

Teachers notes and a worksheet for students with questions about the objects would be
good. You could have progressive questions: 10 KS1 questions, 10 KS2 questions and so on.
You would need to talk to staff in order to create the appropriate questions.
21. Teacher U: User: Secondary
Should the new notes be directed to the teacher, to the students, or both?
Both
22. Teacher V: Non-user: Secondary
Should the new notes be directed to the teacher, to the students, or both?

the objects and maybe some worksheets.

We liked the pictures that you had included in the loans boxes and are going to

child friendly writing.

Colour should be incorporated into them. And pictures with illustrate the function.
Not much writing just the bare facts. Bigger writing.
25. Teacher Y: Non-user: Secondary
Should the new notes be directed to the teacher, to the students, or both?
Both
They should be "adult speak" for the teachers and differentiated for the
students.
