About the brief
We are looking for expressions of interest from artists and organisations interested in delivering practical CPD sessions for the I Am Network. We will be commissioning 3 artists/organisations to deliver these over the 2025-2026 academic year.
The commissioned artists/organisations will deliver a half day CPD for up to 25 teachers working with Deaf, disabled and neurodivergent children and young people in a variety of education settings across London. They will share their practice, provide take away ideas that can easily be implemented in the classroom and refresh and inspire the teachers.
We are particularly interested in hearing from those who identify as Deaf, disabled and/or neurodivergent, and from disabled-led arts organisations.
About the I Am Network
A New Direction's I Am Network is a free professional development programme for educators working with Deaf, disabled and neurodivergent children and young people in London's schools and specialist settings. The Network meets twice a term over the academic year, working together to improve creative and cultural opportunities for children and young people who are Deaf, disabled and neurodivergent.
Access
It is really important to us that there are no barriers to anyone applying for opportunities at A New Direction. Please let us know if you have any access requirements and/or would like to submit your application in a different format by contacting iam@anewdirection.org.uk.
