Community Arts Partnerships- Innovative Methods in English Language Arts Education

Posted by on August 6, 2007

“Community Arts Partnerships- Modeling Innovative Methods in English Language Arts Education,” arts-infused-education summer intensive by Marygrove College, Detroit, Mich., Aug. 13-15, 2007.

Marygrove College?s Institute for Arts-Infused Education (AIE) announces a three-day intensive training workshop for artists, principals, in-service and pre-service teachers August 21-23, 2006, on its campus in Detroit. The AIE has designed these training sessions as a means to support the growing field of arts integration into the K-12 core curriculum and providing professional development for those interested in and/or working in the field.

The intensive will have several areas of concentration:

1) Teacher track: performance and inclusive experiences in each art discipline: drama, dance, visual arts, music and technology arts, and basic terminology to assist in future collaborations with artists

2) Artist track: basic classroom management techniques, how to identify and include the Michigan standards and benchmarks in lesson planning, age-appropriate lesson-planning, how to teach to the multiple intelligences, cognitive learning basics, etc.

3) Combined track: artists and teachers together experience arts-infused units and co-plan/team-teach units themselves

4) Professional track: participants look at the field regionally and nationally and gather information on resources available and how to implement arts-infused programs in a specific school. Participants receive information on the research and practice in the field.

5) Assessment: how to make AIE work
