• Providing effective arts & culture opportunities in teacher training - 11 September 2024

  Sowing the seeds: if we are looking for systematic change in how arts and creativity is taught and valued in school, can we start at the beginning of a teacher’s career?

  This Masterclass will give us a chance to reflect on the role and value of cultural organisations supporting creative subject teacher training and explore how cultural organisations and teacher training providers could work more closely together.

  During this event hear from speakers: Holly Burton (Senior Producer, Formal Learning at Young V&A), Laura Warner (Learning & Engagement Manager at Sadler’s Wells) and Mollie Howells (Learning Curator: Children and Young People at Towner Eastbourne). They will share their recent research conducted through A New Direction’s Space for Change programme into what exists already in initial teacher training and what current teachers, lecturers, course leaders, trainees and PGCE students want and need support with.

  You will hear insights from educators and ideas about what we can do next – working together to provide creative careers advice, cross-curricular support, and confidence building in the arts.

  This Masterclass will cover:

  • Discussion on how cultural organisations and teacher training providers could approach working more closely together.
  • Reflections on the role and value of cultural organisations supporting creative subject teacher training.

  This event may be particularly relevant for anyone who:

  • Wants to hear what teachers, schools, trainees and PGCE course leaders need in support from cultural organisations.
  • Is an artist or cultural organisation working with schools and teachers in the next academic year.
  • Is a creative professional looking to establish relationships with schools and teachers.
