Join Professor Bill Lucas at the University of Winchester for this free INSET opportunity.
'Creativity, expansive education and the new Ofsted framework: why Ofsted is an opportunity to rethink your curriculum and how you might go about it'
The new Ofsted framework takes a more expansive view of curriculum, inviting schools to think more about what they are offering pupils. Specifically it asks teachers to think about their intentions, how these will be implemented and how the impact of the curriculum will be measured.
In this session Bill Lucas will explore with headteachers and teachers their vision (intentions) for a school which puts creativty at its heart. He will suggest practical ways in which creativity and other important capabilities can be embedded in the curriculum (implementation). And, importantly, Bill will offer a range of ways in which all of this can be measured (impact) including a number of assessment for learning and action research techniques.
