Catalyst-Inspiring Arts Ideas for Teachers
Catalyst, designed and run by The Prince’s Foundation for Children & the Arts, is a series of six professional development days for Key Stage 2 teachers held across the UK.
On each day, teachers will be working with leading arts professionals to gain practical skills in using the arts in their classrooms, with a particular focus on storytelling and literacy and have the chance to meet guest speakers, including award winning authors, storytellers and directors of national arts organisations.
Every teacher who attends will receive a FREE limited edition of Catalyst, a new book that includes 60 inspirational activities to use in the classroom covering Dance, Poetry, Music, Storytelling, Theatre and Visual Arts. The book also gives practical information on planning arts projects and working with external artists and arts organisations.
Catalyst days will be held in the following areas:
Hampshire - 12 November
Birmingham - 17 November
Bristol - 01 December
London - 12 March 2009
Liverpool - 06 February 2009
Newcastle - June 2009
Thanks to the extremely generous funding from The Eranda Foundation each training day costs just £45 per teacher (payable in advance of the day).
