To celebrate its fiftieth birthday, this comprehensive new catalogue records the breadth of art held in the international Hiscox Collection, as seen through the eyes of two celebrated contemporary artists. Edited by Whitney Hintz and Laura Smith. Global insurer Hiscox have been collecting modern and contemporary art for fifty years, and their significant collection comprises 1000 works by international artists at the forefront of contemporary practice. Including work by Etel Adnan, Nan Goldin, David Hockney, Joan Miro, Eduardo Paolozzi and Pablo Picasso, the collection will be on public view for the first time in two consecutive displays at Whitechapel Gallery: the first curated by British painter Gary Hume (b.1962) and the second by Berlin-based Venezualean artist Sol Calero (b.1982 ). The catalogue will include contributions by both artistcurators, as well as colour illustrations of every work in the collection.

Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Romance Languages - General, University of Birmingham, course: PGDipEd Secondary (QTS) French, language: English, abstract: In this discussion, I evaluate my practice with regards to assessment and monitoring progress. I first consider the relevant literature and explore assessment of learning and assessment for learning, as well as suggestions for monitoring pupil progress. Assessment for learning (AfL) is defined by Driscoll, Macaro and Swarbrick as: 'formative assessment and the practical implementation of this by teachers in classrooms'. Assessment of learning (AoL), often referred to as summative assessment, 'identifies the standard of attainment achieved at a particular moment in time'. I then discuss my approach in my research design, followed by a critical evaluation of my progress so far, supported by my documentary evidence. As a key part of the teaching and learning process, assessment is a frequent focus in educational research, both generally and specifically in modern languages (ML). The Office for Standards in Education state that best practice includes 'regular assessment of all four language skills', while the Department for Education (DfE) make no specific mention of assessment in the National Curriculum. This shows that there are multiple viewpoints on the importance of assessment and monitoring.

Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Romance Languages - French - Didactics, grade: 68, University of Birmingham, course: PGDipEd Secondary (QTS) French, language: English, abstract: All teachers face the challenge of making sure every pupil has the same access to education by adapting their teaching to suit different needs, known as inclusion. Kyriacou defines inclusive teaching as organising teaching and learning to "cater for pupils with a broad range of abilities and needs." Gedge refers specifically to pupils with a special educational need or disability (SEND) when considering inclusion and, although the focus of this study is SEND, it is important to note that inclusion refers to all pupils. As Holmes said: "no learner is the same as any other." Inclusion is not the same as differentiation, which refers to the methods employed by a teacher to make the learning accessible to all (Kyriacou, 2014), although this term is still significant in relation to making teaching inclusive. This study aimed to find out how inclusion works in practice. I focused on Modern Language (ML) teaching and carried out a case study of two Year nine pupils with Asperger's Syndrome, a condition within the wider range of Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD), in an 11-19 mixed comprehensive. I looked at how changes to teaching and the classroom environment affected their learning over six one-hour lessons. I will consider views from a range of literature on the subject and use several methods of data collection to analyse the results and conclude whether the teaching had an impact. I will then explore these findings in relation to my future practice.
