Inspire your team through hands-on sessions with professional artists that equip staff with the skills and confidence to lead arts-based activities in the classroom.
“School is potentially a wonderful place to make art because somebody else is telling you what to do and you don’t have to make all the decisions.
School is also potentially a terrible place to make art because somebody else is telling you what to do and you don’t get to make all the decisions.
As teachers, you are defining the space within which to create things, not defining the thing that’s made.“
Esther Neslen, Bow Arts artist
How we design CPD training
Teacher Continued Professional Development (CPD) training can be one-off sessions, whole INSET days, or a series of workshops. The focus of our teacher CPD ranges from specific skill development – training staff to use new tools, mediums or techniques – to strengthening their delivery in the classroom. They can also be designed to support your staff’s creative approach and planning, providing deeper understanding of how to integrate art into other subject areas.
“My practice tomorrow will be different because of what I have learnt today”
