'Children learned more in a week than they normally would in a
term' Fiona Loudon, Head Teacher

that in turn led to an increase in literacy levels, self-motivation
and cooperative learning' Emer Vance, Teacher and Scott Vance, Head
Teacher "
The Leonardo Effect" ties together the whole primary curriculum
by demonstrating the ways in which art and science can be
integrated, allowing children to build up both skills and
knowledge. It also equips teachers to teach in a more creative and
inspiring manner improving children s engagement and attainment.
The method aims to excite children s curiosity and to capture their
imaginations, igniting a passion for self-motivated learning.
Divided into two parts, the first section consists of overview
chapters written by lecturers in Education who describe The
Leonardo Effect s unique method of integrating art and science in
detail, and the outcomes achievable. Part two comprises a series of
illustrated case studies contributed by teachers and head teachers
who have embedded The Leonardo Effect in their schools, found it
has transformed their curriculum, and has been positively evaluated
by inspectors. These case studies deal with:
- literacy;
- creativity;
- disaffected learners;
- learners with special needs;
- school leadership; and
- assessment.
This book is based on the experiences of researchers, teachers
and school leaders who tested The Leonardo Effect in primary
schools throughout the British Isles. It has been shown to
transform children s learning and raise attainment. Feedback from
the schools demonstrates how it enhances teaching and learning.
"
The Leonardo Effect" is ideal for students and practising
teachers, curriculum developers and academics working in the field
of education.
