Sharing Info from @C4Subject_Assoc : You might already have heard about research project that is being carried out by scholars from IOE, UCL’s Faculty of Education and Society and the University of Oxford’s Department of Education. The goal of the project is to support teaching and learning about the history of the British Empire and its complex – often contested – legacies within British culture, politics and society today. To that end, the project aims to provide a robust and nuanced research evidence-base that can reliably guide future programmes of professional development able to respond directly to the actual needs and experiences of learners, be they teachers or the young people in their classrooms. They are conducting a national survey and are looking for responses from teachers, particularly those who are working, or have recently worked – in an English secondary education setting. Visit the project website: portraitemb.co.uk/ Take the survey: redcap.idhs.ucl.ac.uk/survey…

Join the AccessArt Tiny Art School Movement! Aimed at reviving a sense of purpose amongst, and appreciation for, artist educators working in our communities, AccessArt has started a body of work to explore, celebrate and promote the notion of “tiny art schools” across the UK. Tapping into existing practice and innovation, we’ll be sharing how artist educators are working with their audiences, using community centres, village halls, and private studio spaces as art education labs, building creative and economic communities of all sizes. We’ll be exploring how the tiny art school concept can be both a viable business model for the artist educator, and help inform a ground-up, inclusive and diverse re-thinking of the purpose and value of art education for all today. We hope to inspire many more artist educators to recognise the purpose and power of their own creativity, and to think about how they can set up tiny art schools in their own name for the benefit of all.

Thank you so much for speaking up @NickClancarty and your work over the years advocating for the importance of art education
The government must deliver on their promise to improve offer of creative subjects in state schools. This means, amongst other things, scrapping ebacc and spending money - as independent schools do - on arts facilities. hansard.parliament.uk/Lords/…
