Professional Artefact...

It has taken me quite sometime to come up with an idea for a professional Artefact. I wanted to complete my research and analyse the data in order to identify where an artefact would be of benefit to my inquiry and community of practice thus unifying the research project as a whole piece of work. After Adesola's session on the artefact, I felt the need for the critical review and the professional artefact to work together and to compliment one another.
One of my main findings in the research project was that there is no clear functioning creative curriculum policy in place in the school. My initial thought was to write a policy (although that seems far beyond my capacity!). During a 'phone tutorial' with Alan, he suggested writing a rational for the creative curriculum policy. This also gives scope for it to be used to implement a policy in other schools. 
I have started to research policy writing and look at other schools creative curriculum policies..
Does anyone know anything about policy writing? Or ever written a rational for a policy?

Developing SIGs outside Facebook

Just a quick blog to say that I've found phone calls and emailing other members of the BAPP community a great way to keep the SIG interaction going. I have recently been emailing Cerys Dixie. I found that the conversations via emailed are more focused and (I personally) have found them more productive than the previous discussions on Facebook. 
Feel free to drop me an email!

Literature Review...Help please!

Hey BAPPers!
Can anyone offer any advice on writing an informative but concise literature review for the Critical Review. I'm struggling to review all the literature I have read... Does anyone have examples of how you've managed this?
Thanks
Joanna

Chat with Nat...

Natalie Less and I had a phone conversation last week;
The initial purpose of this call was to conduct an interview. After the interview we had a good chat (and verbally critical reflection) about the final module. We spoke about the stage we were at with the Critical Review, the hurdles we've had to overcome, techniques for analysis, the importance of blogging and some general encouragement!
I would definitely recommend phone calls/ skype and email chats with other BAPP members. It's as good as using a SIG!
