Poetry Loving Classrooms Introduction

...

This clip provides a brief overview of the course, explaining why it is imperative that poetry is a priority in all primary schools.

In this introductory video, we analyse our own attitudes towards poetry and think about the attitudes of different colleagues in our school. We begin to examine how we can support our colleagues to develop a positive attitude to poetry.
