ResDance S3: Episode 3: Dance in Primary Education with Eilidh Slattery
In this episode, Eilidh shares her thinking on dance and creative movement in primary education. She explores her research interests in arts-based pedagogy, arts-based research methods and practices of learning and teaching theory. We explore ideas around the wider value of dance in educational settings, possible barriers and considerations for those delivering dance and the need for the individual voice of the teacher to be heard and brought to the fore. Eilidh’s refers to her recent research report: Dance in the Primary School Scotland (2022).during the episode.
Eilidh Slattery trained as a dancer and dance teacher gaining teaching qualifications in multiple disciplines with the ISTD & RAD and taught in the UK and Ireland. She has experience teaching dance and choreographing productions for all ages in dance schools, community settings, nurseries, primary & secondary schools and in FE & HE settings. Eilidh later qualified as a GTCS registered primary school teacher and continued to explore dance and creative movement with learners alongside the rest of the school curriculum whilst also delivering CLPL dance events for staff and guest lecturing on several Initial Teacher Education programmes. Eilidh held roles of class teacher, specialist teacher, principal teacher and acting headteacher before moving into the position of Lecturer in Teacher Education at the University of Dundee working on both the undergraduate and postgraduate initial primary teacher education programmes, as well as the BA Childhood Practice, TQFE and MEd programmes.
Eilidh currently works full-time at RCS on the PG Cert & MEd Learning and Teaching in the Arts programmes, working with arts educators from all educational and community settings. Eilidh’s research interests focus on dance and creative movement in primary education, with wider interests in arts-based pedagogy, arts-based research methods, inclusive practice and diversification of learning & teaching theory. She has been awarded funding from the RCS Athenaeum Award to support the Dance in the Primary School in Scotland project.
