Is teaching an art, rather than a science? Instead of measuring
education and reducing everything to data, what if we looked at it
through the lens of the arts? Sue Cowley demonstrates how teachers
can become artists, sculptors, actors, dancers, musicians,
playwrights, poets, designers and directors, no matter which
subject or age group they happen to be teaching. The artful
educator paints the air with ideas and weaves magic with words.
They aren't afraid of a little risk, or of planning and delivering
lessons a little differently. Learn how to be more creative,
experimental, playful and imaginative in the methods you use to
manage your classroom, and in the myriad ways in which you help
your students to learn. Discover what an 'artful attitude' to
education looks like, with plenty of practical, real-life ideas for
artful teaching and learning. Sue has collected inspiring examples
of how colleagues in a range of settings, from early years to
secondary and further education, are already using artful
approaches in their classrooms. Find out how to engage with your
artful side, reinvigorate your approach to teaching and inspire
yourself and your children with the pure joy of learning. Getting
artful can involve borrowing techniques from the arts to use in
teaching, getting learners hands-on with creating artworks
themselves and also engaging learners with great existing works of
art, cultivating the cultural capital that comes from this in the
process. A collection of suggestions designed to inspire you to
take creative risks with your learners, this is a book for
explorers and rebels. An ideal resource for trainees, NQTs and
experienced teachers alike, The Artful Educator is for anyone
looking for inventive, innovative approaches to teaching. Contents
