This case study is a project for embedding literacy into performing arts courses. Four computers were purchased and, given the relative lack of IT expertise at Clean Break, collaboration with specialists at City and Islington College was set up to facilitate this.
This project aimed to establish cross curricular embedding of performance and literacy into schemes of work along with increased use of IT in functional skills provision and literacy assessment.
The project has achieved its main aim: collaborative planning between literacy and performance tutors, within the context of working towards outstanding practice, is now established and routine. This has resulted in making literacy elements more explicit in schemes of work and in teaching and learning in the classroom. It has also resulted in the literacy tutor making better use of performance techniques and practices in her teaching, leading to a much more coherent and holistic experience for learners.
