Teaching Toolkit

Coming soon! A wealth of teaching plans and classroom resources to adapt to your pupils’ learning needs.

Working with education professionals

The Crafts Council aims to promote craft education vigorously. We feel this is done most effectively by working collaboratively with professionals at the frontline of education, particularly teachers in schools.

Through supporting teachers in planning and developing new schemes of work and learning opportunities, we aim to promote the value of craft to the learner. This will ensure that we develop the next generation of makers and audiences for craft as well as those who become designers, architects and artists.

An appeal to teachers:

This page will soon be packed with fantastic teaching resources. Some of these will be developed by the Crafts Council Participation and Learning team. However, we are keen to fill it up with high quality contributions from teachers and other educationalists!

Get Involved
Our audiences are always keen to see how others are interpreting the national curriculum to inspire and motivate learners. Most teachers have some exemplary schemes of work or lesson plans that have worked exceptionally well in their own school context – these could even inspire a great project in a classroom 500 miles away!

To share examples of best practice from your school or college, please send a brief outline (1-2 of sentences are fine) of the teaching resource you’d like to showcase to: participation@craftcouncil.org.uk

Thank you!
