Construction and Built Environment Teaching Resources
Free school resources for industry professionals and teachers!
Construction Youth Trust have developed and piloted a suite of online resources to inspire young people about careers in the construction and built environment sector.
The Contextualised Curriculum project, funded by the CITB and delivered in partnership with the London Regional Construction Training Group, provides industry professionals and teachers with a range of curriculum linked sessions that champion construction and built environment careers.
Developed in partnership with both industry and schools, the sessions blend students’ existing skills and learning with real world-of-work scenarios. The sessions contextualise students’ learning and allow them to gain an understanding of why what they learn at school is relevant to the wider working world. For students at risk of becoming disengaged with school, giving them practical demonstrations of the importance of their learning can revitalise their interest and reengage them with their education. The employer led engagements also help schools to meet the mandatory Gatsby benchmarks.
You can find the entire suite of available Contextualised Curriculum sessions here.
All the sessions are free and you can download and use as many as you wish! Download an overview of all sessions here.
For each session there is a detailed resource pack including:
- A session plan— a step by step guide for the delivery of the session
- Student worksheets—printable versions of worksheets specific to each session
- Resources— including session PowerPoint, additional information sheets and activities
There is also a handy How To Guide to help you make the most of the Contextualised Curriculum resources and support you in running engaging sessions in your local schools.
