Artsmark Development Day

Arts Connect is the Bridge organisation for the West Midlands.Our aim is that all children and young people in the region can access and enjoy a rich and meaningful arts and cultural life.We believe that meaningful engagement with the arts and culture contributes to a thriving childhood and impacts on learning, achievement, attainment, wellbeing, health, creativity, career options, progression into higher education and wider benefits to participating in society. Our purpose is to improve opportunities for children and young people aged 0 – 19 to access, engage in and connect with high quality arts and cultural activity.

Arts Connect

Artsmark Development day is a day of CPD for two members of school staff (including a member of the school's SLT). These sessions will explain your journey ahead, support high level planning for the arts and culture in your school and allow you to network with other schools in your area.

Self-assessment Tool 
Schools are invited to undertake a self-assessment exercise using the Artsmark <A HREF="http://www.artsconnect.co.uk/artsmark-development-day-resources/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">self-assessment tool</A>. This will give a school a general sense of its 'start point' in terms of arts capacity and quality of provision.
Development Day  
Two members of staff including a member of the school's SLT attend a Development day which is run by Arts Connect. At this event they begin high level planning for the arts in their school by drafting an Artsmark Statement of Commitment (SoC).
Artsmark Delivery 
Back at school the <A HREF="http://www.artsconnect.co.uk/artsmark-development-day-resources/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Statement of Commitment </A>is finalised and signed off by the headteacher and chair of governors. The Statement of Commitment will be the key arts planning document and will tie arts provision to overarching aims in the School's strategy – as evidenced in School Improvement or Development plans.
Case Studies 
 We will ask you to reflect on your Statement of Commitment and use templates provided by ACE as a method of reporting back and as a prompt for structured reflection.
Additional evidence 
Alongside your Case Study, you can submit details of the following to support your evidence:
<UL>
<LI>pupil level data</LI>
<LI>teacher assessments of individual pupil attainment levels</LI>
<LI>any other relevant evidence that might demonstrate impact of arts work either at pupil level or whole school level</LI>
<LI>critical friend visits</LI>
</UL>
Levelling 
 We will ask you to use descriptors and indicators devised by ACE and Bridge Organisation self-assess your strengths, weaknesses, start points and areas for development. This will help to test the consistency of the proposed Artsmark levels and degrees of differentiation between each.
