Common Sense Arts Standards Chapter 2

Product Details

Next meeting is December 18  in room 324 

Rudy and Canfield attended a seminar last spring with the book’s author, Bruce Taylor, and reflected on how useful and relevant the material in Common Sense Arts Standards seemed to developing contemporary arts curriculum aligned with the CC. Common Sense Arts Standards also holds relevant content for academic teachers seeking to utilize more arts content in their CC lessons.

On Thursday, November 20, we met to discuss chapter 2. You should have received a copy in your mailbox. There is also a copy on hold in the library. If you were unable to attend, please respond to the following questions and post to the blog. This is done in the comments section at the end of this post.

1  a. What is crucially important for your students to learn in the course of your time with them? 
    b. How can you use an arts based lesson to help in this goal?

2 What unit later in the year can you begin to rework for the purpose of the PD? Please consider this a real unit the will be taught in you classroom, reflected upon and used as evidence of process and student outcomes for the purpose of this PD.

If you are unable to attend the meeting tomorrow please respond with two observations from the reading material and your responses to the 2 questions above.
