InSET
My work with schools has involved working closely with staff during InSET sessions to research, plan, deliver and evaulate projects and contemporary arts practice.
​
Whilst working as Participation and Outreach Coordinator and Access and Education Coordinator at Arnolfini I facilitated bespoke InSET sessions with schools relating to all aspects of the arts centre's interdisciplinary programme. I also wrote and researched teachers packs and negotiated partnership agreements between a range of schools and Arnolfini. Click here for further information.

Watch This Space, Project Manager, Engage, Arnolfini, St Mary Redcliffe C of E Primary School, Bristol
I supported teachers from Reception to Year 6 in planning a series of visits to Arnolfini exhibitions and events. This involved InSET and meetings with teachers to devise gallery based sessions they lead themselves alongside a range of follow up work for the classroom. The focus of this work has been to develop childrens’ higher order thinking skills and teacher’s confidence in the galleries. I also produced a Handbook for Visiting Arnolfini based on teachers’ own plans and discoveries and wrote the Partnership Agreement 2006 - 2010 with the Head Teacher & Arnolfini’s Education and Access Programmer.

Project 7, Arnolfini and City Academy Bristol
(September 2006 – January 2007)
My role was to work closely with staff from the City Academy to plan, deliver and evaluate a pilot project between the two organisations. The aims of the pilot and long term partnership are to support teachers in facilitating a more open-ended student centred approach to teaching and learning in order to develop students’ creativity, independent thinking, ownership and risk taking. I delivered an InSET session for teaching staff and supported one teacher in planning and delivering an 8 week module incorporating a series of 5 visits to Arnolfini.
