An opportunity for East Sussex / Brighton based writers

Creative Partners required at Eastbourne Technology College, Brodrick Road, Eastbourne, BN22 9RQ (www.etc.sch.com)
Under the umbrella theme of raising confidence and standards through creative learning, ETC is looking for creative practitioners to work alongside staff in the planning and delivery of two projects. We are looking for exciting and innovative responses to these deliberately open, challenging briefs.
Can you contribute to this process and support staff and students in the challenges of developing a more creative curriculum? Do you have the skills and vision to develop these ideas?
Project 1 will involve a creative practitioner working with one or two teachers to plan and deliver a cross-curricular project with a group of Year 7 students which will serve as an opportunity to explore ideas and techniques in preparation for the proposed re-design of the entire Key Stage 3 curriculum, in line with a more project-based, creative model of curriculum delivery. Practitioners in all artforms are invited to respond to this brief.
Project 2 initially involves a media arts practitioner working with teachers of Media, ICT and Technology to develop the creative use of technology within the school. It is envisaged that the focus of this work would be the creation of a web-based resource, focussed on the local community, which has the potential to serve as an archive of student work as well as providing cross-curricular teaching resources. Early ideas for this include an interactive map of Eastbourne seafront which could incorporate elements of History, Art, Geography, English etc.
Both projects are due to commence by late February /early March and completed by July 2009. The commitment is in the region of 15 days, to be negotiated with the school. The fee is £200 per day.
