Birmingham Arts School facilitates three essential secondary teacher networks in Dance, Drama and Visual Art. These networks offer invaluable opportunities to collaborate with fellow professionals, exchange best practices, and uncover fresh strategies for student engagement. We strongly encourage headteachers and teachers to participate in these sessions to explore innovative teaching techniques, champion high-quality arts education, and have a dedicated forum to address challenges and opportunities specific to their schools.
These sessions will include in-depth looks at KS3 and KS4 schemes of work and assessment, featuring speakers from exam boards who will provide expert advice on the syllabus. Additionally, there will be deep dives into how Ofsted views your subject, ensuring you are well-prepared and informed.
The Secondary Dance Network will be led by FABRIC and the first two sessions are funded by Centre for Advanced Training Programme. This session is themed around looking at curriculum topics and examination in GCSE Drama and will involve exploring the practice of various dance companies.
FABRIC are inviting teachers, practitioners and group leaders from across the Midlands with an interest in dance to attend an inspiring continuing professional development day.
It will look to equip participants with a choreographic tool kit to support working creatively with young people, both in workshop environments and when working towards creating performances.
Refreshments included.
The day will be aimed at Secondary level teachers, specialist and non-specialist and independent dance artists who are leading sessions with young people.
