Teachers in Residence Mini-Series (3) Stephanie Tomlinson
Manage episode 357570687 series 2966902
This is the third and final episode in our short mini-series on Teachers in Residence, the initiative within the Design and Technology Association that places teachers in business and industry placements, within which they gain a detailed perspective of the company, learn more about the sector that the business works within, thus allowing them to return to school empowered with this experience and with a knowledge base that enables them to answer that question "Miss/Sir, what's it like to work in..."
This episode sees us catch up with Stephanie Tomlinson, Assistant Head of Technology at Queen Elizabeth's School, Barnet, a boy's grammar school founded in 1573 with an incredibly forward-looking and vibrant design and technology department. Stephanie recently undertook a TiR placement at Bulletproof Design at their London studio.
Bulletproof has been a Blueprint 1000 (www.blueprint1000.org.uk) member almost from the very start of this initiative and was one of the founding partners for Teachers in Residence. Over the last three years, Bulletproof has hosted three teachers at its Covent Garden, London studio. In this episode, we explore what the agency saw for them in this initiative, how this has developed over time, and just how much time Bulletproof staff spend making the teacher's placement not only worthwhile but transformational.
I want to take the opportunity to thank Bulletproof for the vision and energy that they have brought to this initiative, described by one teacher as "the best professional development I have ever received".
So pull up a comfy chair, pour yourself a luxurious cup of coffee, sit back for the next thirty minutes and enjoy Designed for Life in conversation with Stephanie Tomlinson.
