Jane Ryder – Enhancing and Engaging Learning Through the Arts
About the Session
In this presentation Jane will share how the arts are used to enhance learning at Sidegate Primary School, a three-form entry school in Ipswich, Suffolk. She will cover practical aspects alongside pedagogy of using the arts to embed learning.
Jane will talk about a recent two year research £150,000 Teacher Development project she helped lead: Embedding Learning Through The Arts with a Focus on Vocabulary, funded by Paul Hamlyn Foundation. This involved nine primary schools across The Active Learning Trust and Jane will share the impact this has had.
Her passion for the arts will shine through as she talks about working with arts and cultural organisations and the importance of sustaining those relationships.
Jane is dedicated to seeking new opportunities and avenues to embed learning through the arts.
