Moving Literacy On: Evaluation Report on the British Film Institute Lead Practitioner Scheme for Mov
Jackie Marsh & Eve Bearne
The BFI scheme was developed in order to establish ‘lead practitioners’ for moving image media literacy, eventually in all Local Authorities in England. In total 70 Local Authorities were involved and this evaluation focuses on 35 who had been involved in the scheme since October 2005. The lead practitioners in these authorities were trained by the BFI who had five key objectives for the scheme:
* Build an infrastructure at local authority level that will help to ensure the long term sustainability of moving image media education from Early Years through to KS3.
* Develop a cohort of lead practitioners who are confident in designing and disseminating curricula, resources, and training for other practitioners.
* Identify and explore specific learning outcomes and pedagogies related to moving image work in classrooms across Early Years and KS 1-3;
* Explore ways of integrating moving image media education into mainstream literacy practice.
* Develop ways of integrating the three sometimes separate dimensions of moving image media education (that is the creative, the critical, and the cultural).
This report evaluates the work against these key objectives. With case study examples to illustrate the findings and an appendix which outlines ways in which Local Authorities might develop work in moving image education themselves, this astute analysis presents a clear evaluation of the work whilst offering guidance for Local Authorities and schools on good practice in the use of moving image in the literacy curriculum.
