“In my 10 years of teaching this was one of my career highlights!”
Teacher
“I have new skills, definitely. Art skills and how to manage children’s anxiety – how to reassure them that it is fine if they get it wrong and to think positively about their mistakes and not worry too much about it. We got so much info about how to support children with behaviour and skills.”
Teacher
“Taking part...has given me more ideas to implement into the classroom. It is a very beneficial and rewarding program to be part of.”
Teacher
“It was so much fun. It reminded me that drama can be used more in lessons and helped me feel more confident doing it in class. It got me out of my comfort zone!”
Teacher
“The Delight in Macbeth programme has been one of my favourite parts of my teaching career. It’s been a great reminder of why I got into teaching.”
Teacher
“I am definitely way more confident. Just from watching the artists, their approach, I feel a lot more confident. I had never used some of the skills before. Usually, we have 30 minutes to make art. I loved doing it over many sessions and giving it an end point and context.”
