Posted: 12/11/2017
In 2018-2019 9000 pupils in 400 schools across England will
take part in trials to find out if different cultural learning approaches can
help boost primary pupils achievement.
Speech Bubbles is one of five projects chosen to be part of
the Learning About Culture research programme led by the Education Endowment
Foundation (EEF) and the Royal Society of Arts (RSA).
Speech Bubbles will be evaluated by a team of independent
evaluators led by the University of London – Institute of Education and the
Behavioural Insights Team. The
evaluation will look at the impact of Speech Bubbles on childrens learning and
development, and contribute to research on how different arts approaches
benefit children and schools.
You can read a full press release about the research
programme here and download the RSA’s Learning About Culture Prospectus here.
Schools who would like to be involved in the research need
to have not had Speech Bubbles since 2012/13 and be able to commit to
supporting research screenings. In return they will receive the intervention at
a significantly reduced price. We will be recruiting schools from December 2017
to March 2018.
