Tucker was recognized as Teacher of the Year for Wilson County Schools in 2014, and he was named a 2015 North Carolina Schools Regional Teacher of the Year. Tucker states, “I am excited to join the NC Department of Public Instruction as Dance and Music Education Consultant. I look forward to supporting our arts educators, community partners, and educational leaders to strengthen the quality of instruction our students receive throughout North Carolina.”

Rekindle Throughout our webinar today, we will provide opportunities for you to implement the four “R’s: rekindle, reflect, reconnect, and renew. Raise your hand if you have done something recently to rekindle your artistic spirit by participating in hands’-on arts experiences. What are some of the activities that help you to rekindle your artistic spirit? Please type your answers in the question box. You can also raise your hand icon if you have a rekindling activity that you would like to share!

S66 Vision for Arts Education In today’s globally competitive world, innovative thinking and creativity are essential for all school children. High quality, standards-based instruction in the arts develops these skills and effectively engages, retains, and prepares future-ready students for graduation and success in an entrepreneurial economy. Dance, music, theatre arts, and visual arts, taught by licensed arts educators and integrated throughout the curriculum, are critical to North Carolina’s 21st century education. This is the Vision for Arts Education, as developed by the 2010 S66 Comprehensive Arts Education Task Force members. “In today’s globally competitive world, innovative thinking and creativity are essential for all school children. High quality, standards-based instruction in the arts develops these skills and effectively engages, retains, and prepares future-ready students for graduation and success in an entrepreneurial economy. Dance, music, theatre arts, and visual arts, taught by licensed arts educators and integrated throughout the curriculum, are critical to North Carolina’s 21st century education.” The Task Force had extensive discussion regarding why the arts were critical to preparing globally competitive, future-ready students who will be successful in school and in life. They also discussed how arts education should occur (taught by licensed arts educators AND integrated throughout the curriculum) in NC schools.

Comprehensive Arts Education (CAE) Arts Integration Arts Exposure Arts Education The S66 Task Force recognizes a Comprehensive Arts Education as: • Arts Education (arts as core, academic subjects) • Arts Integration (arts as a catalyst for learning across the curriculum) • Arts Exposure (exposure to arts experiences) Additional information (not included in the webinar): The first component, Arts Education, relates to the arts as core, academic subjects and the importance of school-based instruction to develop proficiency in the arts. Arts Education is a collective term referring to a comprehensive and sequential education in four separate and distinct disciplines: dance, music, theatre arts, and visual arts. Arts Education is defined in North Carolina in the Basic Education Program (115-C-81), and the arts are also defined as core, academic subjects in the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). K-12 Arts Education is delivered during the regular school day by licensed arts educators using the NC Standard Course of Study, as specified in the Arts Education Essential Standards. (Some arts educators teach in Pre-K settings.) The second component, Arts Integration, refers to using the arts as a catalyst for learning across the curriculum and in all areas of learning. In addition to offering a rigorous course of study in their distinct disciplines (dance, music, theatre arts, and visual arts), the arts are a powerful tool for learning throughout the curriculum. When teachers create curriculum that successfully integrates arts content and concepts with that from other subject areas, students are fully engaged in a multisensory learning experience through the application of multiple intelligences. North Carolina's A+ Schools Program is a nationally recognized, research-based, whole-school reform model that successfully utilizes arts education (instruction in all four arts disciplines) and arts integration to teach a balanced curriculum. The third component relates to the importance of Arts Exposure in providing real world context to students. By experiencing the arts, either as a creator, participant, or audience member, students learn about themselves and the complex world around them. In-school programming by professional artists reinforces the arts curriculum, while showcasing career paths. Artists also provide an inspirational model of the discipline, skill, and perseverance required to achieve excellence. Off-site student visits to art museums, theatres, or other arts venues demonstrate that the world outside school provides countless opportunities for discovery and active learning, encouraging students to become life-long learners engaged in their communities. The interface between the arts sector and a school is an essential component of a comprehensive arts education and sustains a community culture of well-rounded citizens who value creativity.

We will now continue with some legislative updates, beginning with some federal legislative updates from Sara. Legislative Updates

Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) Reauthorizes the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) and replaces the No Child Left Behind (NCLB). Minimizes the amount of federally-mandated control over curriculum and assessments, allowing states to create their own educational plans to address issues such as school accountability, curriculum, student assessments, and support for struggling schools. “Well-rounded education” replaces “core academic subjects.” Arts and music are included under the definition of a “well-rounded” curriculum. (Title XIII, Sec. 8002) ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act) a. The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) is the new federal education law approved in December 2015 to replace No Child Left Behind. States are required to develop their own ESSA plan to comply with the federal law. The state plan will address issues of school accountability, student assessments, and support for struggling schools among other elements. b. The new law continues to focus on student-level assessments for all students in reading and mathematics in grades 3-8, science assessments at least once in the elementary grades and at least once in the middle grades, college and career readiness in the high school grades, and accountability for all student subgroups. The state’s accountability plan must include goals for academic indicators (improved academic achievement on the state assessments, a measure of student growth or other statewide academic indicator for elementary and middle schools, graduation rates for high schools, and progress in achieving proficiency for English Learners) and a measure of school quality and student success (examples include student and educator engagement, access and completion of advanced coursework, postsecondary readiness, school climate and safety). Participation rates on the assessments must also be included in the plan. More information on ESSA may be found online English, reading or language arts, writing, science, technology, engineering, math, foreign languages, civics and government, arts, history, geography, computer science, music, CTE, health, physical education and any other subject as determined by the state or LEA Arts in Education grant program at DOE (is in as continued grant program, $20 million) Consolidated almost all other programs - Student Support and Academic Enrichment Grant Program (1.65 billion - for all well-rounded subjects) - will go to state in a formula and then 20% must be spent on those subjects in each state Website- http://www.whiteboardadvisors.com/news/wa-edsurge-decode-new-federal-k-12-education-bill Presentation- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64wb2NwZaLY&feature=youtu.be Slides- http://www.whiteboardadvisors.com/files/Whiteboard%20Advisors_ESSA%20Overview_2-17.pdf

ESSA State Plan Development Following her appointment as Secretary of Education, Besty Devos has issued a letter stating that she will uphold the deadlines to submit State Plans by either April 3 or September 18. Implementation will begin in the 2017-18 School Year NC is on track to submit our State Plan on September 18, 2017 Awaiting new accountability regulations from the US Department of Education to complete State Plan Templates and Assurances (due April 3) The public is invited to continue submitting comments to the Department of Public Instruction through Let’s Talk. Simply click on the Let’s Talk link on the NCDPI website then select the ESSA dialogue topic. Questions regarding the sessions may be directed to NCDPI Communications at 919.807.3450.

Reflect Our first R provided an opportunity for us to share how we Rekindle our artistic spirits. This next section of the webinar relates to ways that you can reflect on the profession through deepening your understanding of the standards to support student learning and growth

What are Essential Standards? Please type your ideas in the question box to answer this question, “What are Essential Standards?” (Presenters read responses from participants) Image Citation 3

Essential Standards Guiding Question What do students need to know, understand, and be able to do to ensure their success in the future, whether it be the next class, post-secondary, or the world of work? You’ve shared your ideas about the Essential Standards. The Essential Standards answer this guiding question that was used with the writing groups to craft Essential Standards for each Arts Education discipline: “What do students need to know, understand, and be able to do to ensure their success in the future, whether it be the next class, post-secondary, or the world of work?” Essential Standards are: •Skills, understandings and learning experiences mastered at each level to move to the next level •“Must Have" goals of the curriculum •Focused on higher-order knowledge and skills all students should master •Address the "inch-deep, mile-wide" concern about the previous SCOS •Provide assurance that every student learns essential content and skills for the 21st Century •Assessed in the classroom via formative, benchmark/interim, and summative assessments. Image Citation 4

Comparing Strands We practiced with strands and standards guidance for the Analysis of Student Work process in our last quarterly webinar. As you are aware, each discipline has a set of strands which provide common threads of understanding that cut across all grade levels. Look at the chart and think about the following questions: What is common? What is different? What is common? When you think about this question, you might note the organizational use of strands for all content areas that use NC Essential Standards. Other commonalities that might be noted: There is a strand related to response in dance, music, and visual arts – the names differ. There is a strand related to literacy in music and visual arts. There is a strand titled “Contextual Relevancy” in music and visual arts. The strands vary for each arts education discipline Although there are some overlaps with the strands, each discipline’s strands are treated uniquely within the Essential Standards for the discipline. For detailed descriptions of the strands, you may be interested in the Definitions of the Arts Education Strands support document, which can be accessed via the hotlink on this slide (which links to the Instructional Tools page of the Arts Education wikispace) http://ances.ncdpi.wikispaces.net/K-12+Instructional+Tools

ES Organization The Essential Standards communicate what students should know and be able to do as a result of instruction at each grade level (K-8) or proficiency level: beginning, intermediate, proficient, and advanced (9-12). Because of the broad base of knowledge and skills involved in creating, performing, responding to, and understanding the arts, experiences and learning must occur in a sequential manner. For all disciplines, the ES are organized as follows: Strand, Essential Standard, Clarifying Objectives Strands provide: Organization and Common threads of understanding Essential Standards (<10) – There are fewer than 10 Essential Standards for all content areas. Clarifying Objectives (approximately 2-5) – There are at least 2 per ES and no more than 5 The standards were organized to embed multiple entry points

Decoding Musical Literacy Essential Standard Clarifying Objectives 4.ML.1 Apply the elements of music and musical techniques in order to sing and play music with accuracy and expression. 4.ML.1.1 Apply expressive qualities when singing or playing a varied repertoire of music representing genres and styles from diverse cultures. 4.ML.1.2 Execute the performance of vocal ostinatos, partner songs, counter-melodies, and rounds in two or more parts. 4.ML.1.3 Use voice and/or instruments to execute melodic movement through pentatonic melodies on the treble staff. This example is from the approved Essential Standards for Music. The table illustrates the format for “decoding” the Essential Standards. Note that the standards are organized under a large heading, “Musical Literacy.” Musical Literacy is the strand for this particular Essential Standard. The number “4” lets the viewer know that you are viewing a Grade 4 standard; The “ML” indicates the strand, which is Musical Literacy. The “1” indicates that the viewer is looking at the first Essential Standard under Musical Literacy, which reads: “Apply the elements of music and musical techniques in order to sing and play music with accuracy and expression.” The “3” indicates that this is the third clarifying objective within this standard, which reads, “Use voice and/or instruments to execute melodic movement through pentatonic melodies on the treble staff.” Grade Level (4) Strand (ML = Music Literacy) Essential Standard (1) Clarifying Objective (3)

Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy Provides the framework used for all NC Essential Standards Common language used for all Essential Standards Two-Dimensional: Cognitive Process and Knowledge Dimension The NC Arts Education Essential Standards use Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy (RBT) cognitive processes, that are consistent across disciplines and which assist the teacher and learner with understanding the standards-based outcomes identified for each of the Essential Standards and Clarifying Objectives. The standards have a focus on concepts and skills in relationship to those concepts. The use of the RBT verbs accomplishes several results that will benefit both teachers and students: 1.The learning outcomes are clear. 2.There is a consistent definition and understanding of the RBT verbs across disciplines. 3.The focus is on learning objectives, rather than activities. The activities that are associated with the objectives become assessments. The NC Arts Education Think Tank has worked with NCDPI since the standards were approved to assist educators with Understanding the Standards. Sessions are offered at the annual ArtsR4Life conference which allow participants to dive deeply into the standards and their understanding of both the knowledge and cognitive process domains of Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy in order to inform their teaching, learning, and assessing of students’ growth. Please stay tuned for additional opportunities to support standards implementation, which are being developed now for use in the 2017-18 school year. Image Citation 12

Renewing This next activity will focus on renew! Activities under this “R” are designed for you to renew your body and mind through expressive, contemplative, and rejuvenating experiences designed to promote your well-being. Please participate in this next activity to the greatest extent that your location allows. You may be alone in front of a computer, or attending with a group of colleagues. If you are able, stand up from wherever you are listening! (If you can not stand up, follow along as best you can from a seated position). So, we are all standing up; Now, take your arms and reach high, higher, higher – try to reach the sky! Feel your body grow taller and taller – stand up on the tips of your toes if you can – jump up high to try to catch the string on an imaginary balloon!!! Not quite high enough – one more try! OK, got it! Now, let your balloon float up into the sky and with it, send all of your worries and stress away! Now, bend from your waist so that your entire body is slumped over, hands hanging down toward your feet. I am going to count backwards slowly from 10 to 1, and I would like for you to slowly roll up from your slumped over position until you are standing completely upright, head high, shoulders back. Ready? 10, I’m starting to roll up slowly beginning at my feet, 9, my hands are coming up to my knees, 8, 7, - slowly rolling, 6 – I am passing my hips 5, 4 - my shoulders are beginning to come up and back 3 ,2, and 1 – I am standing completely tall – head high, shoulders back, ready to take on the next challenge of the day! Now smile as hard as you can!!!! If you are with colleagues, show them your smiles! Ok – stop smiling and show everyone the grumpiest face you can make – face wrinkled up, that’s it! Let’s see those smiles one more time – and 1,2,3 – freeze! Now relax your face and your body, have a seat (or keep standing if you like), and we will continue with some resources for those of you who are participating in the NC Analysis of Student Work Process.

Arts Ed Guidance Chart + Timelapse Artifact Template http://ncasw.ncdpi.wikispaces.net/Teacher+Resources – This link takes you to the Arts Ed Guidance Chart plus Timelapse Artifact Template. You can use this tool to create your entire Evidence Collection for ASW. NOTES: Educators with teaching assignments in multiple Arts Education disciplines (for example: music and theatre) should validate “Yes” to classes in the discipline with the majority of their classes. For example, a teacher with 2 classes of music and 3 classes of theatre would only validate “Yes” to the theatre classes.  **If you have an equal number of classes in multiple Arts Education disciplines, please choose one discipline.   In order for the Evidence Collection to be considered complete: include 1 Timelapse Artifact representing each of the strands in your Arts Education discipline plus 1 or 2 additional Timelapse Artifacts for a total of 5 Timelapse Artifacts. select a unique Clarifying Objective (C.O) for each of the Timelapse Artifacts for a total of 5 different C.O.s Fill out the Arts Education Guidance Chart in your discipline to insure that all the strands are represented in your collection and that all of the C.O.s are unique. Use your 5 unique Clarifying Objectives to plan your evidence collection, in the 5 ASW Timelapse Artifact Templates located below the Arts Education ASW Guidance Chart. (Do not repeat objectives in the same year.)
