Development of my inquiry

Since my skype last week where I discussed my inquiry idea of teachers well being/ stress I came to the conclusion this topic was to assuming, my intentions where foreseeing a future problem, and it wouldn't enrich my current practice.

As I'm looking to continue my studies onto a PGCE in primary education Adesola made the important point that when I'm applying to schools my specialism is the 'arts' and my inquiry is a good way of trying to consolidate my arts knowledge into an education setting.
An area I have started to look at is the use of performing arts within a classroom.
I have noted that I have the performing arts skills but I  need to gain the knowledge and skills on how to make this transferable to a classroom and into the core curriculum subjects.

Questions that have risen regarding the topic-
How to incorporate performing arts within the classroom
What are some of the reasons behind incorporating arts in the classroom?
What skills do teachers need to be able to deliver performing arts within the classroom with confidence ?
Is performing arts valued by teachers?
What is the history of the arts in education
How do children benefit from performing arts at primary education level?
How does movement and music within a classroom help a child's learning?
What skills are required to make performing arts accessible to everyone.
What transferable skills do you gain from performing arts to a classroom setting?

I plan to continue researching this area further to assess the scope of the inquiry topic by outsourcing some literature.

  1. Hi Lauren,
    I am also looking at doing my PGCE but for high school teaching. I think the questions you have come up with are great, because in high school when you begin you do classroom work and studio work and it would be interesting to find out whether the younger children could benefit from this also.
