Types of training
My training has the students and staff as the first and most important element to achieve overall success and results . Years of mentoring and training both with student teachers and with art departments across the country has enable me to lead by example and drive success through guidance, support and proven strategies which when implemented have highly effective outcomes that raise results. Every school community differs, so I will work with each school to create individual training to maximise outcomes. From up skilling teachers with painting, clay, printing techniques - to training whole school primary teachers on basic art skills - to diagnostic reports for under performing art departments - to integrating new creative GCSE's that will impact on league table results.
