EYFS/Primary teacher CPD and student teacher training in art and design and design technology.
Welcome! I’m Julie Mitchell, and my goal is to support, encourage and inspire children, students, pre-service and in-service teachers and teaching assistants in their creative, art and design, and design technology activities. I also help to transform school environments into places which calm, flow, inspire, educate, and bring the ‘wow’ factor.
I offer consultation, curriculum design, schemes of work, training and workshops to universities, teaching hubs, SCITTS, MATS, individual schools and other organisations (e.g. Cambridge International Education and Merseyside Youth Association’s Mental Health Team).
I have been a qualified teacher since 1991, and worked with over 250 schools and communities nationally and internationally, first as a general primary teacher, and then as a CPD/ITT provider.
I offer training/support in:
- Art and Design
- Design Technology
- Enabling Environments ~ Display for Education ~ Creating Galleries
- Writing bespoke curricula and schemes of work for your school/organisation
- Designing bespoke training courses for your organisation
The Art Tree: Training Resources for Primary Teachers
I am delighted to announce the publication of my art, craft and design training books and digital resources for primary subject leaders, senior leaders and class teachers. The Primary Subject Leaders’ Essential Guide is a high-quality, A4 full-colour ‘go-to-support’ which also details progression across all media from year 1 to 6. It is national curriculum and Ofsted ‘deep dive’ referenced. There are two slimmed-down companion books for teachers of Key stage 1 and 2, plus a whole plethora of digital support resources. For more information click here.
I offer workshops for your children in art, craft and design.
I provide art direction and project management of the creation of large ‘wow’ pieces for exhibition in schools, community locations, galleries and museums.
You can commission me to create art and design:
As a professional artist/designer, Julie offers illustration, text decoration, caricatures, paintings, digital textile design and sculptured ‘bas-relief’ wall art. She has created bespoke wedding stationery; designed and produced twinning charters for municipal authorities; made replica historical liveries and costumes; and illustrated published history books.
