Not only do I feel I can contribute to maintaining the quality of learning at heritage sites, but I also get to experience and learn about some of the best practice that is available to schools and other learners across the country. Being a part of the assessor team gives me a network of experienced heritage and education professionals to talk to. I definitely feel that being part of the Heritage Education Trust has helped my own personal and career development.”
