June is the last month of mentoring BIMM students in teaching placements in Brighton before they embark on writing up their Action Research Projects. As creative multi talented musicians who perform, compose and record their own music I wonder if they will have the courage to flourish and bring their creativity into in the testing and tested school and further education environments, should they wish to join them? I’m reading Ken Robinson’s – Creative Schools: Revolutionizing Education from the Ground Up just now; essential reading for anyone who wants education to be about thriving and joy not testing. If you have not see his TED talk which started all this then do: Do Schools Kill Creativity?
