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.

Vision:  Arts students will graduate on time, college and career ready. While discovering their passion, they will achieve excellence through rigorous study of deeply aligned arts curriculum.

 What does Comprehensive Arts Education look like in our school system or charter school?

Important Points  Teachers will identify teaching context  Teachers will select the objectives – Must Align!!!  Reviewers will be content specialists  Ratings = Exceeds / Meets / Does not Meet (3 yr avg)  Looking for Growth – not comparative  Start thinking about evidence – how you’ll capture it – what examples you might use

CONTINUE TO:  Breathe  Believe  Be the Best Teacher you can be … You’ll be fine!

Creation & Performance - Beginning  I can create dance sequences that vary the use of dance elements, use simple choreographic structures, and use choreographic principles to fulfill choreographic intent.  Exemplar *: Video of student generated works combining dance elements, structures, and principles to fulfill choreographic intent

Cultural Context – Beginning (EXEMPLAR **) I can explain how art influences historical perspectives on society.  Students may construct a cause and effect model that shows how art influences historical perspectives on society. Products may include thinking maps or graphic organizers: Student will be given a list of teacher selected criteria on which to base their response.

 CDM – Credit by Demonstrated Mastery  Not as much of an issue for the arts since students can already cross over ‘levels’ and take honors level courses multiple times for credit  Does not count towards their GPA  Consistent Placement Practices  Started but we’re not there yet …  Please your successful practices to Liz
