Start Using Opening Minds - Publications and resources

The RSA Education team offers a range of publications, training and consultancy to support schools interested in the Opening Minds curriculum.

Training

We offer sessions designed to introduce the core concepts of Opening Minds to teachers, followed by interactive sessions to begin the process of creating a competence-led curriculum in your school. This is designed for groups of up to12, and sessions normally last around half a day.

Bespoke training sessions can also be provided.

Consultancy

Consultancy is available across a range of topics relating to the implementation of Opening Minds. This may include support for senior staff in decision making, or more detailed discussions with teachers about implementation. We aim to tailor this to the needs of each school.
