The StratREAL Foundation will work with Learning Through the Arts to launch its innovative programme in the UK. Our joint goal is for LTTA to develop long-term education partnerships with local school authorities in the UK.
Introduced by the Royal Conservatory, Canada's leading arts / education organisation, Learning Through the Arts captivates and motivates students to learn through a unique blending of the sequential approach embodied in classroom curriculum with the insight, physicality and expressive power of the arts.
The programme
Students in LTTA classrooms get up from their desks and work on concepts in mathematics, science and language. LTTA certified artists and teachers help students use their imagination to create stories for English class, form structures with their bodies in order to understand concepts in science class and study complex musical rhythms and symbols for maths class.
LTTA runs comprehensive teacher education programs which give teachers a range of arts based tools that substantially broaden their teaching strategies and offer them access to a set of innovative lesson plans for challenging subjects such as maths, science and language.
LTTA also provides schools with specially trained artists who partner with teachers over a three-year period to deliver the core curriculum in an engaging and imaginative way. LTTA is not an 'artist in the schools' programme but a structured educational system for teaching mathematics, language arts, history and science.
