This idea comes from Richard Bristow, who turned to Océane for support in navigating the depth and breadth of academic literature about ‘why arts should feature in STEAM’. She is a powerful researcher and was ready to use her expertise to help.
How did Océane help?
Richard said “Océane was brilliant in helping me to navigate this area, giving titles from our own library as well as sorting through online resources. She directed me to really interesting research from Universities concerned with this question, meaning I could focus my initial thinking before going off on separate tangents. The big problem I have when using an online resource like JStor is that I get easily distracted – there’s always another really interesting article to read – and before I know it a double free has gone and I’m no closer to answering my original question! By giving me targeted resources I’ve been able to format an answer to my initial problem and then go on to look at secondary materials.
I’ve since asked her to do the same for my Year 10 and 12 pupils on targeted research for the Baroque Period and French Art Music by Messiaen; she has produced beautiful and informative worksheets for me to use with my pupils helping us to have focused research. Thank you Océane!”
Think about how the brilliant Océane could help you. Once you’ve tapped into her expertise for the first time, she will no doubt become indispensable to you.
