CUREE are proud to be continuing to work alongside the Paul Hamlyn Foundation in the second pilot year of the Teacher Development Fund, a new programme designed to support the embedding of learning through the arts across the curriculum. CUREE are drawing on our extensive CPDL and evaluation expertise to continue to evaluate the success of the fund during its pilot phase and inform its further development.
The Teacher Development Fund has been designed to facilitate the sustainable embedding of learning through the arts across the curriculum. In this second pilot year, grantees from across the four home nations will be continuing their work from Year 1 in exploring how best to achieve this whilst working with leaders, teachers and arts practitioners, and developing learning opportunities for vulnerable pupils. CUREE have designed an evaluation framework to accompany the pilot, identifying best practice and recommendations for future iterations of the fund.
The project draws extensively from CUREE’s experience evaluating projects such as Sing Up; more information about CUREE’s evaluative work with schools can be found here. You can read more about the Teacher Development Fund on the Paul Hamlyn Foundation Website.
