Sequence Development Arts Education

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.

Session Objectives

By the end of this session, and in order to facilitate our work, I will be able to:

– Understand my role and the expectations, including the timeline and deliverables as a GTN participant

– Contact and collaborate with other colleagues in the GTN network – Understand how my content area connects with other areas in the scope

of this work– Access OpenClass, Schoolnet, and the Arts Education GTN wikispace – Describe the content of my initial sequence outline– Utilize the planning documents for the Governor’s Teacher Network to

develop a sequence with 2-4 units having at least 4 lesson plans per unit

Essential Standards Components

• Strands:• Organization

• Common threads of understanding

• [ES] - Essential Standards (<10)

• [COs] - Clarifying Objectives (approximately 2-5 per ES)

• Learning Sequence:• K-8 Grade Levels• HS Proficiency Levels• Organized to embed multiple entry points

DecodingEssential 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.

HS Proficiency LevelsBeginning Intermediate Proficient Advanced

Standards are for students with no or limited K-8 progression in the arts education discipline (dance, music, theatre arts, or visual arts).

Standards are for students who have had a complete K-8 progression or who have achieved beginning level standards in the discipline at the high school level.

Standards are for students who have achieved intermediate level standards in the discipline at the high school level.

Standards are for students who have achieved proficient level standards in the discipline at the high school level.

Note: students of various proficiency levels may be served within the same class or course.

Information & Technology Essential Standards

• Closely aligned with 21st century skills

• Digital literacy overlaps with English Language Literacy and Arts Literacy

• Embedded into instruction across all content areas

• Includes more than using tech tools

Ouida Myers, Digital Teaching and Learning

IT StrandsSources of Information (SI)

– Evaluate resources needed to solve a given problem.

Informational Text (IN)*– Analyze appropriate strategies when reading for enjoyment and for information.

Technology as a Tool (TT)– Use technology and other resources for assigned tasks.

Research Process (RP)– Design project-based products that address global problems.

Safety and Ethical Issues (SE)– Analyze issues and practices of responsible behavior when using resources.

UDL at a GlanceLaurie Ray, Exceptional Children Division

UDL Principles Principal 1:

Representation

Principal 3:Engagement

Principal 2:Action and Expression

Recognition NetworksThe "what" of learning

How we gather facts and categorize what we see, hear, and read. Identifying letters, words, or an author's style are recognition tasks.

Strategic NetworksThe "how" of learning

Planning and performing tasks. How we organize and express our ideas. Writing an essay or solving a math problem are strategic tasks.

Affective NetworksThe "why" of learning

How learners get engaged and stay motivated. How they are challenged, excited, or interested. These are affective dimensions.

What do gifted learners need in order to maximize their learning?

Learning Needs of Gifted: Some, Not All

• Complexity: Abstract-thinking, Variety of concepts, subjects and strategies

• Depth: Higher levels of thinking, concepts

• Creativity: Open-endedness, choice

• Acceleration: Rapid pacing, Focus on Growth

• Relevance: Personal interest, Real-world problems and audiences, Connections

Tools and Strategies for Challenging Gifted Learners

• Concept-Based Teaching• Tiered Assignments• Project-Based Learning• Curriculum Compacting• Independent Study with Rubrics• Seminars• Other

All with appropriate challenge!

Formative Assessment• happens during instruction in the classroom• is ongoing—minute to minute or in short cycles• is not graded or used in accountability systems• is descriptive in nature

• Why? – To provide feedback to adjust teaching and learning to help students

improve their achievement of intended instructional outcomes.

Formative Assessment

– Questioning– Discussions– Learning activities– Feedback– Conferences– Interviews– Student reflections

Summative Assessment

• is used to measure student competence or program effectiveness

• is found at the classroom, district, and state levels• is evaluative and used to categorize students so performance

among students can be compared• can be graded and used in accountability systems

Summative Assessment

– Selected Response Items• Multiple choice• True/false• Matching

– Short Answer• Fill in the blank• 1-2 sentence responses

– Extended Written Responses– Performance – Portfolios (may include a combination of any of the above)

Assessments in Summary

Formative– Promotes student learning– Occurs during instruction– Not graded– Process– Descriptive feedback– Continuous

Summative– Helps determine how much

learning has taken place– Occurs at the end of an

instructional unit– Graded– Product– Evaluative feedback– Periodic
