DESCRIPTORS *Creative Teaching; *Cultural Education; Curriculum Evaluation; Education Work Relationship; Elementary Secondary Education; Family School Relationship; Foreign Countries; Government School Relationship; National Standards IDENTIFIERS England ABSTRACT This report argues that a English national strategy for creative and cultural education is essential. Three principle objectives are laid out to address this strategy. First, there are important relationships between creative and cultural education for the whole curriculum. Second, teachers must be trained in the most current methods to stimulate student's learning. Finally, the balance of the school curriculum to create partnerships between schools and the world is essential for today's creative and cultural education. The report develops the themes of the challenge for education, creative potential, freedom and control, cultural understanding, and a systematic approach. The four chapters include: (1) "Facing the Future" sets out definitions and a framework for creative and cultural education;(2) "A New Balance" explains implications for the English school curriculum, for teaching, and for assessment; (3) "Beyond the School" argues for a broad base of partnerships between schools and other agencies and considers issues of resources and training; and (4)"A National Strategy" presents a series of detailed recommendations as a framework for a national strategy. The key message of this report is the need for a new balance: in education; in setting national priorities; in the structure and organization of the school curriculum; in methods of teaching and assessment; and in relationships between English schools and other agencies.

Hon David Blunkett MP, Secretary of State for Education and Employment Creative and cultural education can help raise educational standards by boosting a child's self-confidence and self-esteem. The Government wants to give young people every chance to develop their full potential, to build on their strengths and to believe in themselves. Our cultural heritage, together with creativity through self-expression, offers a way of developing the talent of the individual and their understanding of a diverse and complex world around them. I welcome the recommendations of this report which identify a variety of ways in which we can enable young people to explore their creativity at school and more widely for their future leisure and work opportunities.I am grateful for the committee's efforts and the imaginative proposals they have contributed to this vital part of a balanced and rounded education. I look forward to the results of further constructive debate on the challenge we face in the social and economic climate of a new century. exideudeli DAVID BLUNKETT Foreword by the Rt. Hon Chris Smith MP, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport The opportunities to explore the best of contemporary culture and to express individual creativity are two vital components of any education system committed to developing the full potential of all its pupils. They also play an essential role in nurturing a lively society and a dynamic economy. I welcome the vigorous way in which this report addresses these issues and, in particular, the emphasis it places on developing effective partnerships between schools and the wider community. My Department will be looking at ways of building on its recommendations.

The submission deadline for Volume 7, Issue 2b was July 15, 2020. Submissions fell under the category of Social Justice Practices for Educational Theatre. Social Justice Practices for Educational Theatre As of early June, 2020, we found ourselves about ten days into international protests following the murder of George Floyd by police in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Protesters the world over made specific calls to action: acknowledge that black lives matter, educate yourself about social and racial injustice, and change the legal system that allows these heinous acts to go unpunished. In thinking through how we in the field of educational theatre could proactively address these needs, I reminded myself that there were many artists and educators who were already deeply engaged in this work.

  • Lycra, Legs, and Legitimacy: Performances of Feminine Power in Twentieth Century American Popular Culture
    LYCRA, LEGS, AND LEGITIMACY: PERFORMANCES OF FEMININE POWER IN TWENTIETH CENTURY AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE Quincy Thomas A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2018 Committee: Jonathan Chambers, Advisor Francisco Cabanillas, Graduate Faculty Representative Bradford Clark Lesa Lockford © 2018 Quincy Thomas All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jonathan Chambers, Advisor As a child, when I consumed fictional narratives that centered on strong female characters, all I noticed was the enviable power that they exhibited. From my point of view, every performance by a powerful character like Wonder Woman, Daisy Duke, or Princess Leia, served to highlight her drive, ability, and intellect in a wholly uncomplicated way. What I did not notice then was the often-problematic performances of female power that accompanied those narratives. As a performance studies and theatre scholar, with a decades’ old love of all things popular culture, I began to ponder the troubling question: Why are there so many popular narratives focused on female characters who are, on a surface level, portrayed as bastions of strength, that fall woefully short of being true representations of empowerment when subjected to close analysis? In an endeavor to answer this question, in this dissertation I examine what I contend are some of the paradoxical performances of female heroism, womanhood, and feminine aggression from the 1960s to the 1990s. To facilitate this investigation, I engage in close readings of several key aesthetic and cultural texts from these decades. While the Wonder Woman comic book universe serves as the centerpiece of this study, I also consider troublesome performances and representations of female power in the television shows Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the film Grease, the stage musical Les Misérables, and the video game Tomb Raider.
