Resources Report
The National Association of Teachers of Travellers and other professionals (NATT+) was approached by the Department of Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) in June 2007 to run a Gypsy, Roma and Traveller Resources Project with nominated schools and educational settings in England.
The aim of the project was to promote Gypsy, Roma and Traveller history and culture into schools and educational settings by giving them a variety of high quality Gypsy, Roma and Traveller resources to be used with staff, pupils and the wider community.
The evaluation asked the schools and educational settings for future recommendations and ideas. The responses included:
- Role models and visitors from the Gypsy Roma and Traveller communities
- DVD and software to be available, including interactive whiteboard materials
- Networking with other schools to share good practice
- Downloadable materials on the NATT+ website
- Provide a catalogue of other resources that could be purchased; this should then be available for all schools
- A one-stop-shop to order other resources.
Some of these points are being and have already been addressed. A catalogue of resources has just been released and this site has a newly expanded shop where resource materials can be researched and ordered.
The full report is available to NATT+ members and can be downloaded in the members' area.
