Focus of the Visual Art/Drama PLC

the focus here is on assessment for learning, tracking what students are able to do at different stages - multiple entry points

Connections How did your interventions build meaningful connections

Big Projects for Next Year

Art for Social Change Event

Focus could be on Mental Health - things students struggle with - needs to be meaningful for the community

School/Board wide fund raising

Art Activities in the Comminity

Check with community members who might want art displayed or fund raisers

Non Profits

Teacher Workshops

Our art/drama teachers need opportunities to learn new techniques

Needs to be curriculum based

PLC's could be done at the LU Art Building or the Thunder Bay Art Gallery

Training Expo - local training with local resources

Brining in Community Artists

Board needs to develop a honorarium system that all schools could connect with

The artists could be given a bulk honorarium to work with all the schools

Need a liaison/list of networks

Need time to get together to put it all together

Struggles What interventions weren't successful?

when I did not use one on one with some students to review process in smaller groups after initial instruction

several differnt types of learners with various strenghts

Make up assignments

me too!

all splits

Open levels present plenty of gaps in student abilities..split classes are an added stress.

CRAP... I have 2 next year....

Attendance - students are engaged in dynamic lessons, but only when/if they attend.

Calling home regarding absences- actually... anything that had to do with absences

never have had such bad calls as this year

A number of students do not know nor care about school absence policies. A few parents do not follow through either.

Analyzing our Interventions Best Practices

Main topic

Successes What has work for you this year?

spending more time on skills than content

used a self peer editing check list

give part marks on rubric for preliminaries for expanding on their ideas

encourage them to continue to improve while completing project

using video for self assessment

more focus on the PROCESS of learning (feedback during preliminary stages) and less emphasis on the mark

Do you assess the process work? If the student doesn't complete the end project will his/her process mark count instead?

working with new materials

students love to experiment with different materials (the teenage brain) so build in some time to play with the media

Subtopic

One on one...if there's time

How did you engineer the time to work one on one?

getting to know the student/building a positive relationship

I agree
