AH1 Develop strategies and programmes for interpretation and learning

Elements

AH1.1 Develop the organisation's interpretation and learning strategy

AH1.2 Develop a programme to implement the interpretation and learning strategy

Unit Commentary

This unit is for archaeologists who have responsibility for designing and implementing the strategies and policies of the organisation for interpretation and learning programmes which may have a specialist purpose or be directed towards the wider public. It is important to devise a strategy for the use of the organisation's resources in terms of education and learning. This involves: reviewing the organisation's current interpretation and learning strategy; the available resources; current and potential users and their learning styles and their needs; and involving potential partners that can help with the delivery of the programme.

Using this information, current strategies may need to be revised and programmes may need to be developed to implement the education and learning strategy. This will involve ensuring that the programme is in line with the policies of the organisation both in terms of internal and external users, so that resources are identified and secured and innovative and creative learning approaches are encouraged.
