TMPL has joined the debate about how arts organisations measure their performance with a practical focus on the need to enable organisations to effectively evaluate their work.
Sir Brian McMaster states
that “funding bodies must move to a new assessment method based on self-assessment and peer review that focuses on objective judgements about excellence, innovation and risk-taking”. McMaster is clear that in self-assessment, progress must be measured against an organisation’s stated objectives, and that the sector lacks a culture of rigorous and constructive self-assessment.
Our experience of working with many arts organisation over decades, tells us that the first step in being able to articulate objectives and evaluating oneself and ones organisation against them is to have a clear, stated and shared artistic vision and mission.

TMPL is providing two of the workshop sessions at this first Higher Education Academy HE in FE Conference. The event, which takes place at Warwick University on 5th June, is designed for lecturers who teach on HE in FE programmes. It looks like fun! In the morning Peter Cox will be running a "Games People Play" workshop exploring the use of games - much of it based on his experience as a management trainer taking ideas into FE, like Solihull College where he was a visiting lecturer.
In the afternoon he'll be joined by Paul Sutton director of c&t when they will run a session called "Technology, games and the Drama of Learning". This will show how young people are setting the agenda for learning by using new media technologies.
The whole event - including lunch and a goody bag of resources - costs £145 - you can download a flyer from here.
