Art for All With Paul Carney

This workshop looks at practical strategies and techniques for ensuring your curriculum is diverse, equal and inclusive for pupils of all abilities and genders.

It will look at classroom based ways in which non-skilled primary teachers might ensure pupils are both supported and challenged. It will examine how to support mainstream SEND pupils, challenge the gifted and talented, and investigate ways in which pupils of all backgrounds might feel confident, creative and proud of their achievements in the subject.

"Very useful, in articular how we assess"

"I’ve loved both of the sessions I’ve attended, they’ve given me so many ideas to share with the staff"

"Thank you very much. Given me lots of ideas about how to encourage the children to use their sketchbooks. I'll share with the staff."

"This has all been really helpful. Especially the fear of the blank pages and coffee stains :) "
