Welcome

Welcome to the Creativity Action Research Resource: supporting teachers and practitioners to develop their own skills in teaching for creativity through action research.

The resource is for:

• Teachers in primary and secondary schools
• Creative practitioners who work with schools and young people
• Collaboration: the resource is based on partnership work and can support teachers and other practitioners to work together

The resource is based on research and practice developed through Penryn Creativity Collaborative, and draws on the evidence-based Penryn Creativity Collaborative Creative Skills and Pedagogies.  A series of modules will guide teachers through a complete action research cycle in their own classroom.  Each module includes an introduction and practical activities as well as ideas for further reading.

Working with the University of Exeter Team

The University of Exeter team are available to work with schools, Multi Academy Trusts, arts organisations and other educational collectives to fully develop and embed skills from this Creativity Action Research Resource. We can provide additional Action Research training, lead regular CPD sessions, tailor the process to your setting, provide ethical oversight and support documentation. We are also available to collaborate on generating research findings and outputs that are of a publishable standard.

If you’re interested in commissioning support for your action research project from the University team, or discussing how to write our input into appropriate bidding, please contact us for further information and costings: k.a.chappell@exeter.ac.uk
