Artis Mentors, professional artists and experienced educators, work alongside classroom teachers. Together they create and deliver lessons to make the core curriculum exciting and relevant to all children and their learning styles.

Artis Mentoring provides class teachers with:

• Participatory skills development workshops
• 
In-class practice and joint planning
• 
Support from an experienced mentor
• 
Regular feedback and evaluation.

The benefits

This effective interdisciplinary methodology builds upon Learning Through the Arts®, a transformative educational programme from Canada. More than 45 studies on the effects of this programme have proven that it improves outcomes and benefits children, teachers, head teachers and whole school communities. The programme is hands-on, fusing the arts, cognition, and curriculum in multiple learning paradigms. It enhances the capacity of teachers to teach, the ability of children to learn, and the potential of schools to develop.
