It's a matter of: Give and Take • Authentic integration is: Timely Relevant Constructive Active Connective
Scene: A teacher from another discipline really wants to include -X-. They normally just make/watch/do -X- as a stand alone example of 'arts integration'. Explain how they could authentically integrate -X- into their content. Your Task: Transformation! • Art: Transform the Holiday Project! • Theater: Transform the DGEK (dead guys everyone knows) • Music: Transform the Disney Film (or 'my sub plan') • Dance: Transform the Dance of the Chickens!
No more monsters! • Knowledge dispels fear. • Questions are signposts. • Information builds connection~ • Explain the change! • Tell your story!
Heros- Our Quest! • Expand our perspectives and embrace the change. • Help colleagues to understand that 'arts integration' is more than method. • Model the change the way we envision it to be- exciting, inclusive and engaging for all!
Treasure Chest! • The Map: county wide staff development- we'll help you get to where you need to go! • Cool Tool: create a drop down integrated lesson plan with google docs! • Collaborate, cooperate, communicate- we're in this together!
Your task- • *Teach. Your students are your first priority. • *Integrate the common core into your lessons. • *Discuss how the change is going in our Edmoto group: Pender County Arts • *Create a lesson to share on the wiki that includes the ES/CC and models integration across disciplines. • *Spotlight another teacher in your school who authentically integrates art into their class.
