CPD Recording: The CLA Capabilities Framework: What Is It and How Might It Inform Art Education in your School?

In this CPD panel session recording, we welcomed Sally Bacon OBE, CLA Executive Co-Chair, and Jacqui O’Hanlon MBE, Deputy Executive Director of the Royal Shakespeare Company and Chair of CLA’s Evidence and Value Narrative Working Group. Together, Sally and Jacqui introduced the CLA Arts Capability Framework, a set of core pillars that define the capabilities and qualities nurtured through engagement with expressive arts subjects and experiences.

We explored and reflected on the key pillars, considering how these capabilities can help articulate and demonstrate the value of the expressive arts across different settings.

This session is particularly relevant for teachers and arts leads, and we warmly encourage school senior leadership teams and governors to watch.

 

This is a sample of a resource created by UK Charity AccessArt. We have over 1500 resources to help develop and inspire your creative thinking, practice and teaching.

AccessArt welcomes artists, educators, teachers and parents both in the UK and overseas.

We believe everyone has the right to be creative and by working together and sharing ideas we can enable everyone to reach their creative potential.
