Creative Professional Development Sessions
Our professional learning programmes provide opportunities for teachers of all year levels to engage with art, connect with colleagues, generate cross-curriculum links and develop practical ideas and strategies to enhance their teaching and learning.
We run up to three Teachers CPD sessions per year, which include artist-led workshops and exclusive access to our temporary exhibitions or the Kettle’s Yard house.
Writing About Art: Teacher CPD
30 April 2024, 5–7.15pmStuck trying to get your students to write about art? Secondary and sixth form art teachers, come and learn some methods to kick start the process with writer and facilitator Hannah Jane Walker.
Exploring artworks from the Kettle’s Yard house and collection, teachers will have the opportunity to connect, investigate, interpret, analyse and share ideas and approaches to responding and writing about art; with the aim of creating their own toolkits to adapt and use in their own classroom settings.
