Arts and Humanities-Demonstrator 1-A- and 2-C and 2-E: Curriculum and Instruction

Arts and Humanities
Curriculum and Instruction

Demonstrator 1: Student Access:  All students should have equitable access to high quality curriculum and instruction.

A: Access is provided for all through intentionally scheduling time within the instructional day for a balanced program of creating, performing and responding to the arts in each of the four arts disciplines (dance, drama, music and visual arts.)  

C: The school curriculum provides opportunities for integration as natural cross curricular connections are made between the arts and other content areas. 

E: The school arts curriculum is revised using multiple indicators such as formative and summative assessments, arts organization performance assessments from sanctioned events, or other student needs. 

As part of the program of Arts in the US History classroom, I provide students many opportunities to use art in a variety of ways in the classroom.  Today, students were able to create artwork for the veterans to be sent in with letters that were written. Students were given the option of using the artwork for the school art competition for the Veterans Day Ceremony. Although the students were given the option, none of them chose to complete the pieces they drew for me.  There were a few who are also enrolled in art class who developed a another piece to use.
