Recognising performance and accountability pressures on schools,
Inspiring School Change shows how a commitment to the arts in
education can meet core school agendas of pupil and parent
engagement, attainment, improved teaching and inclusion. Schools
are under pressure to develop their students' creativity and to
improve their cultural education. This book fills a gap by
marshalling the arguments and evidence for a form of education in,
through and with the arts that moves beyond individual projects to
become central to teaching, learning and school reform. When the
arts are taken seriously, schools become different - and better -
places. Using research evidence to promote greater awareness of the
capacity of the arts to promote educational change, this text
captures four key themes that run through all of the chapters: *
Inspiration - sharing experiences and the way they happened,
documenting inspiring pedagogy by understanding the reason it was
done, the factors and the people involved in making it work. *
School change - the need for schools to better prepare young people
for the lives they will live in the twenty-first century; to engage
young people more effectively and so educate them better, and the
recognition that in an unequal society schools can contribute to
making things fairer. * Creative arts - demonstrates, through
international research, how the arts can facilitate whole school
learning, meet core agendas, such as attainment, inclusion and
promote lifelong learning. * Transforming education - marshals the
arguments and evidence for a form of education in, through and with
the arts that moves beyond individual projects to become central to
teaching, learning and school reform. Tackling the hot topics of
parent and pupil engagement, standards and accountability in a
fresh way, Inspiring School Change offers those engaged in the
research and practice of improving teaching and learning with
insight into the educational value and possibilities of arts-based
teaching and an arts-rich curriculum
