Design Strategy - Work Experience Evaluation

6B2 - Taking part in experiences which enhance my CV, skills and knowledge. 


Market Drayton Junior School


My work experience at Market Drayton Junior School was invaluable, even though I have has a number of experiences in schools previously at this placement I was able to take a class for the first time where I carried out short design task with them. Allowed me to focus on their creativity which is important to me and combine my teaching and design skills together. I also learnt a lot about how schools work, a number of different resources, websites, teaching approaches as well as helpful advice and contacts which I will remember and take with me when beginning my PGCE. It also allowed me to gather further research for a few of my extended practice projects.


Progression Ambassador


Carrying out my role as a Progression Ambassador at Leeds Arts University has allowed me to gain experience working with various aged children in a number of scenarios. I worked as part of Young Creatives on a Saturday, assisting tutors deliver lessons on a range of art and design skills, working with groups aged 7-11 and 11-17. I also had opportunities to work with school groups, in a range of workshops from helping with portfolio development to creating paper Roman mosaics. I’ve learnt a lot about the jobs and careers that are available in both an educational and creative context as well as gaining invaluable experience working with children which will only better my career and teacher training.
