The National Society for Education in Art and
Design, the leading national authority on the subject area in the
United Kingdom, has a membership drawn from every sector of
education. The Society’s principal aims are to promote and defend
art and design education and to look after the professional
interests of art and design teachers. For over one hundred
years the Society has uniquely combined the functions of a subject
association, learned society and independent, specialist trade
union. Members receive up-to-date information and accurate
new and views about current developments in art and design
education and ready access to professional advice. Other key
benefits include the sense of being a member of a professional
community, opportunities to participate in debate and make contact
with like-minded individuals in the United Kingdom and from
overseas. Communication with members is maintained through
occasional publications, A'n'D the regular NSEAD Newsletter and the
internationally respected International Journal of Art & Design
Education, START Magazine for primary schools and through the
extensive NSEAD web site. The Society provides a range of
professional development opportunities, including the well
established Artist Teacher Scheme, through a programme of
international, national and regional events. The NSEAD mail order
bookshop offers an unrivalled range of specialist publications.
Close contact is maintained with key
government agencies and is represented on the Council for Subject
Associations and the Society is regularly consulted and advises
government on issues related to art and design and on more general
matters. The Society
continually reappraises its policies for all
sectors of art and design education, based on the experience and
advice of its membership voiced through democratically elected
representatives.
