Creative Agent
Since 2008 I have been a Creative Agent working in a number of schools in Coventry and Warwickshire.
Creative Agents are experienced practitioners (from any discipline) who have substantial experience of working in educational settings and a commitment to working in partnership with schools to help realise the creative potential of all learners and to make learning more engaging and effective through creative approaches. Creative Agents have a proven expertise in relationship building, partnership management, programme development and delivery, brokering contractual arrangements with other practitioners, enabling professional development and developing networks of practice. Most importantly creative agents are skilled in developing reflective practice through fostering the growth of professional learning communities in schools.
Creative agents support schools and creative practitioners through acting as a critical friend: this can mean asking challenging questions within a supportive context. They support schools and creative practitioners to work with young people as equal partners
As a Creative Agent I work with Cardinal Wiseman Secondary School Radford Children's centre Valley House Streetsbrook Infant school.
