Finding it hard to know what to prioritise as subject lead or how to work out which research is relevant and how it applies to your subject? The How to Lead It series are the go-to guides for primary subject leads in schools and trusts. In them you will find:
- clear summaries of relevant research and thinking around best practice
- age-specific and inclusive classroom examples
- case studies
- photos of notable artworks and examples of pupil's art for reference
- reflective questions
- suggestions for short PD sessions with colleagues
Everything in the book is applied thoughtfully to the subject area of art and design, empowering busy subject leaders to confidently make good decisions for effective teaching and impactful curricula.
All the key elements of the primary art and design curriculum are explored, including curriculum planning, domains of knowledge in art and design, progression, the importance of looking, modelling, practice, resources, assessment, how to approach research and a guide to implementing changes in realistic and inclusive ways.
