PS12: Incorporates the transferable skills into instruction, curriculum and assessment including communication, collaboration, creativity, innovation, inquiry, problem solving and the use of technology.
Evidence 1: Lesson plan: Artist Inquiry / Virtual Museum.
Description: I developed this lesson plan: Artist Inquiry / Virtual Museum once schools closed and educators had to begin to think about remote learning. It gives students a chance to do art research while at home.
Analysis: During my in-class student teaching experience, I enjoyed creating slideshows about artists and their works and showing them on a large screen in the middle school hallway. Every two weeks I would show a new artist and often include a short interview with them as well as a display of their work in the art atrium (outside of the art classroom and next to the screen with the slideshow). Creating these slideshows were a way to learn about an artist and to be able to share that learning with the school community. The format, Google Slideshow, provides an accessible way for students to gain technological skills while learning about art! Once students create their own slideshow of their chosen artist, it can be shared with the art educator as well as with the entire class. One drawback to this activity is if a student does not have access to internet from their home but are expected to stay at home due to the Covid-19 outbreak. As schools moved to distance learning, assessing learning took a backseat to the educational experience; however, this lesson could be assessed on completion, sharing with others, and then commenting on others' work - from a distance.
Lesson Plan - Artist Inquiry.pdfLesson Plan - Young Architects.pdfEvidence 2: Lesson plan: Young Architects.
Description: This is a lesson plan, adapted from Lisa Bresler, for fourth graders that incorporates communication, collaboration, innovation, and problem solving. Students are asked to team up to create a model of a school space that needs renovation and creativity.
Analysis: Students were tasked with a real-world project in this lesson plan. They assumed the role of architect and were given a "brief" by a school faculty or staff member to redesign a space in the school. In teams, students had to work through issues arising as they learned how to use cardboard cutting tools, follow the brief's requests, and they were told that not only was their work going to be assessed, but they would need to think about how well they worked within their team, how they problem-solved, and worked collaboratively to complete the task.
