AST Creative
From April 2004 - March 2005, AST Creative was delivered as a continuing professional development programme for 60 Advanced Skills Teachers from around England.The programme explored the issues around creativity in education, including:
- The theory and practice of creativity
- How creativity may operate in the National Curriculum
- Methods of identifying, observing evidence of creativity and recognizing the progress of creative capability
- How to disseminate skills and knowledge about creativity in education to colleagues.
‘It was quite difficult to explain all the good stuff that went on. My wife said she hadn't seen me fired up as much since I first started teaching so it must have had a positive effect!!!'
The programme was dynamic in its delivery being interactive and encouraging action learning and action research within the school and classroom, supported by CapeUK's experienced project team who provided mentor and leadership expertise.
CapeUK's recent publication, Journey: a handbook to support the exploration of creativity in schools through 28 activities, was based on the learning achieved through the AST Creative programme.
