NSEAD has an exciting opportunity for Video Creators to join our lesson production team working on our Secondary curriculum
NSEAD are working with a national body to develop free, adaptable, high-quality Full Curriculum Packages for Primary and Secondary Art, craft and design. These will be made available to teachers and pupils for use in-class and provide a national contingency for remote education should it be needed in the event of disruption.
We are looking for engaging video creators with an understanding of video production and a flair for bringing content to life to captivate and engage a wide audience.
We are interested in applications from individuals who are underrepresented in the teaching workforce, including but not limited to minority ethnic, LGBTQ+ individuals, disabled people, and those from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds.
You will be working as part of a team of leading art educators from across the NSEAD community, with the shared purpose of improving pupil outcomes and closing the disadvantage gap by supporting teachers to teach, and pupils to access, a high-quality curriculum.
The Oak Academy resources will be available nationally, NSEAD believe that all learners have an entitlement to art, craft and design education that is underpinned by well designed, future-facing contemporary curriculum, that are relevant and adapted to the specific context of learners – wherever they go to school.
Diversity is an important value for NSEAD, and as an organisation we are passionate about promoting equity, we believe the people delivering these lessons should reflect the diversity of the communities we serve.
The Visualise Report (Runneymede Trust and Freelands Foundation, 2024) report says:
‘Art has always been central to how people make sense of themselves and their surroundings and how they communicate their experiences with others and therefore, unlike many other subjects, art provides a unique opportunity in schools for students to explore their own identities, heritage and experiences.’
The Oak curriculum, developed with Marlene Wylie, NSEAD immediate past president and Visualise project lead, has been created online with recommendations from the recently published Visualise report. In AD magazine, issue 42, Marlene says:
‘As a result of my presidency, and beyond, I envision an art education landscape where every student sees themselves reflected in the brushstrokes of creativity within our society.’
The Oak curriculum, and its videos, are an opportunity to help realise these ambitions – to show a broad, honest and diverse representation of the artistic canon.
We are seeking individuals committed to working with a creative team to reflect the diversity of communities we serve. We want both teachers and learners to feel represented and we are excited to hear from candidates with a range of different perspectives and experiences.
Each lesson created as part of the secondary curriculum will include a slide deck and a student-facing video in which the slide deck is presented. The video is intended for use in the classroom or by a student directly. The video will bring the slide deck to life, providing additional information on artists, art forms and techniques.
Lesson creators will create slide decks and video creators will familiarise themselves with the content and then record and edit the video using Screenpal. Training will be provided.
