Education through the Arts for Well-Being and Community examines
Sir Alec Clegg's distinctive contribution to education reform.
Revisiting the significance of Clegg's principles for education in
the 21st century, the book investigates the impact of his
innovative approach to education and his advocacy of an arts-based
curriculum to promote physical and mental health. The book explores
a variety of perspectives on Clegg's working relationships, career
and achievements. Sir David Attenborough's foreword remembers his
uncle Alec as a lively young teacher, and Sir Tim Brighouse
considers Clegg as a model for his own leadership in educational
reform. Eight authors in all bring a range of academic and
professional insights to this study of an exceptional
educationalist. Clegg's national influence as Chief Education
Officer in Yorkshire and his impact on schools, teacher education
and wider communities through an integrated approach to the arts
are richly illustrated in text and pictures. Two aspects of his
work have particular topical relevance: Clegg's emphatic concern
for 'children in distress'; and his encouragement of creativity
through teacher education. This book will be of great interest for
academics, scholars and students in the field of the history of
education, educational policy and reform, and all concerned with
the role of schools in young people's development.
