Teacher Training

Artzone teachers have studied the Primary school Art Curriculum. The curriculum sets high standards of tuition across a range of Art and craft subjects. To support teachers, and build their confidence Artzone have developed a flexible, pragmatic 6 module training programme:-

  • Painting
  • Drawing
  • 3D Construction
  • Clay Work
  • Fabric & Fibre
  • Print

Each module is standalone so a school does not need to take on the full six modules in one go. The modules cater for three levels of complexity based on student age groups (Junior/ Senior Infants; First to Third Class; and Fourth to Sixth Class). The programme includes a series of hands-on teacher training workshops. Each teacher learns the subject theory while developing their own physical teaching aids, with guidance from experienced Art Teachers. We leave them with an Artzone step-by-step Handbook. Feedback from Teachers and Principals has been fantastic.

Teacher Mentoring (Arts & Crafts)
After the teachers have completed a module of the Artzone programme an Artzone teacher mentor is available to support them the first time they teach their new activity in a classroom environment. Artzone teachers will review any project output and provide feedback to teachers and students.
