C&M associates are well qualified in this area and have a long history in supporting teaching and learning at most age levels, increasingly working in television.

In print: Ruth has written eight English Language and Literature text books for Hodder & Stoughton’s Teach Yourself series, now re-issued under WHSmith own brand. Her articles for The Guardian’s Education section (now re-purposed on Learn Premium) included her own series on architecture. Commisions for resource packs and articles have been from Scholastic, Ed Comms and many small organisations and projects including the River Parrett Trail. Peter has written and/or contributed to several teachers’ / learners’ resource packs including those for the Rainbow Woods Project and for the Cotswold Way Project, The Thread of Life.

On the web: On a shoestring budget, Ruth produced www.parkdetectives.org to help schools make better use of their neighbourhood parks. www.ridge-wood.org.uk makes a useful educational resource of a south Gloucestershire woodland for local schools and the Barton Hill animation was created by an animator working with a class of seven year olds. C&M associates worked as partners in a three year project – Virtual Ambassadors – to widen participation in land-based education throughout the south west region: http://www.uwe.ac.uk/widen/landbased/indexva.html

On CD: C&M associates published CD Roms and learning materials of national interest on behalf of Cannington College of Further Education, Somerset. Titles included Food, Farm Diversification and Amphibians & Reptiles.

Audio/mobile: Ruth’s Redcliffe Caves Mystery audio trail was followed by the Mystery of the Missing Manuscripts (commissioned by Bristol City Council and Radio Bristol to celebrate Year of Arts & Culture,1995). C&M have recommended the use of mobile technology for the re-instatement of interpretation at Castle Park, central Bristol and consider this a growth area for future interpretive projects.
