We need to make ourselves more visible, louder, more courageous. <br />Inviting head of departments seems like a reasonable way of getting more teachers involved without patronizing and scaring them with the idea of creativity that is imposed on them. <br />I'm sure they feel like that sometimes- enough to go back to the staff meeting we al took part in.<br />DanutaDanutahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06491999002758744404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1000929217904654420.post-83080887114579946002009-09-30T15:25:13.314+01:002009-09-30T15:25:13.314+01:00i also agree with billy and miss coulter.. um i me...i also agree with billy and miss coulter.. um i mean mr hawes in that one of the key topics of last year was the engagement of students and teachers and letting them have a vital part of the prosses. i think mr nicholls idea of having a creative student council would be really interesting and would continue the progress we made last yearttgunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15661095280449214012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1000929217904654420.post-19215791412468503312009-09-30T12:06:36.463+01:002009-09-30T12:06:36.463+01:00I think Billy makes a very good point. I think one...I think Billy makes a very good point. I think one of the real successes of last year was getting people to engage with creativity, discuss its importance and share examples. That doesn't mean that there isn't still more to do and that there isn't an agenda or mission for the group. I think the students' perspective of the opportunities for them to be creative is one that is so important. We need to find ways of allowing for students to articulate and share what their experience of learning is like at Tallis.<br /><br />Mr. Hawes (or at least I think I am!)Soren Haweshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02739846899891030611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1000929217904654420.post-75381322318889103752009-09-29T18:07:44.188+01:002009-09-29T18:07:44.188+01:00Mr Hawes, it's appearing that you have changed...Mr Hawes, it's appearing that you have changed your name to Dawn Coulter? <br /><br />I definitely think that we have a massive impact in the school, however I don't often see this. Some teachers still seem to be giving us work to copy out of a text book (maths).<br />Surely there's a more creative way of learning.<br /><br />I like the idea of creative tallis meeting with head of faculties to help them plan creativity into there teaching syllabus.<br /><br />so we can continue to have a big impact within the school we should suggest to Mr Thomas about him buying all the students within the group a mac book :D okay maybe a bit aspirational but "impossible is nothing"Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06295539833272460067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1000929217904654420.post-55814589920558664992009-09-29T09:38:42.138+01:002009-09-29T09:38:42.138+01:00Hi all,
It seems a long time since we met, so it ...Hi all,<br /><br />It seems a long time since we met, so it will be great to catch up again. The group had a massive impact on the school and its thinking last year and there is no doubt in my mind that the group will play an important role again this year - raising the profile and understanding of creativity, and also working to ensure that students have a wider range of creative experiences and opportunities at Thomas Tallis.<br /><br />I think we could make a concerted effort to try and ensure that we get the Arts Award scheme up and running - I'd love to see the work and projects you undertake receive appropriate recognition and reward. <br /><br />I would also like to think about how we broaden the student representation in the group. What is going to be the best way of sharing our work with other groups around the school?<br /><br />I also like the idea of students acting as creative 'curators' or 'commissioners' and there would be lots of interesting ways of documenting and charting that process.<br /><br />Looking forward to catching up,<br /><br />SorenSoren Haweshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02739846899891030611noreply@blogger.com
