OUR ANNUAL CPD OPPORTUNITY FOR SECONDARY SCHOOL ART TEACHERS AND HEADS OF ART: PEER-TO-PEER EXCHANGE, PRACTICAL SUPPORT AND TALKS TO INVIGORATE, INSPIRE, AND CONNECT.

After consultation with art teachers in the region, this year’s event centres on current challenges such as the cuts to curriculum time and adapting the curriculum to SEND students.

PORTFOLIO SESSION AND DISCUSSION, LED BY EDUCATOR AND MODERATOR KIMBERLEY PALLOT

You are invited to share student work of 2024 grading – including work by both high-performing and lower-performing students and work of students who may need or have had additional support.

The portfolio session will be followed by a discussion around the cuts in curriculum time to the arts (40% time at KS3) and how to deliver a broad and inclusive curriculum within these circumstances.

PRACTICAL WORKSHOP LED BY ARTIST AND FACILITATOR THEO CARTER-WEBER

Exploring ideas and practical approaches around inclusive learning environments and adaptations for SEND students. Using simple drawing and painting tools to tune into individual needs and preferences. What do you need to be able to learn?
