40. Arts Folio

41. Background • Grassroots effort around student placement practices • (September 2012) • Statewide Representation and Meetings • (December 2012 – September 2013) • Sub-groups: • ArtsFolio • Educator Effectiveness

42. What is ArtsFolio? Adapted from NCDPI/NCSSFL LinguaFolio training materials: http://www.learnnc.org/lp/editions/linguafolio • ArtsFolio is a formative assessment tool that helps learners: • Assess their competencies in dance, music, theatre arts, and/or visual arts • Document their arts experiences and learning, in and outside of school • Become reflective and autonomous in their learning

43. What is ArtsFolio?Adapted from NCDPI/NCSSFL LinguaFolio training materials: http://www.learnnc.org/lp/editions/linguafolio • Learners may be coming from a number of environments and programs along the K-12 continuum. • ArtsFolio displays the learner’s competencies as they develop literacy and proficiency in each of the arts disciplines. • ArtsFolio can be used to make learning in the arts more transparent and help learners develop their capacity for reflection and self-assessment — gradually enabling them to assume more and more responsibility for their own learning.

44. Supporting Arts Learning Adapted from NCDPI/NCSSFL LinguaFolio training materials: http://www.learnnc.org/lp/editions/linguafolio • ArtsFolio allows learners to reflect on their skills, artistic competencies, and arts experiences. It provides students with the freedom to identify and use learning methods that work best for them as individuals. • Students using ArtsFolio set short-term and long-range goals and learn to manage their own arts learning by identifying strengths and weakness well before summative assessments. • ArtsFolio provides students, teachers, and parents with a holistic view of performance within each of the arts disciplines. It explains what students can do with the arts and offers a much clearer description of arts abilities than a set of grades or test scores. • ArtsFolio is for all arts disciplines, including all sub-disciplines within the art forms of dance, music, theatre arts, and visual arts. • ArtsFolio accompanies arts learners throughout life and is suitable for documenting arts competencies for a wide variety of uses.

46. ArtsFolio and Implementation Science • Exploration 2012-13 • Beginning steps with platform (September 2013) • Accessing a sample proficiency grid for arts education

47. Think Tank Leadership • Christie Lynch Ebert- NCDPI • Slater Mapp - NCDPI • Liz Droessler – Wake County • Janae Copeland – Onslow County • Nancy Heath – Sampson County • Lydia Stewart – Cumberland County • Ellen Minter Hart - NCVPS

48. I Can Statements Activity • Look at a sample “I Can” statement • Brainstorm – what are the kinds of evidence a student might provide to illustrate that they have met this standard?

49. BEGINNING DANCE Creation & Performance • I can create dance sequences that vary the use of dance elements, use simple choreographic structures, and use choreographic principles to fulfill choreographic intent. • Exemplar 1: Short example of the use of motif, cannon, negative/positive space, Laban elements • Exemplar 2: Given a selection of poetry, a piece of Visual art, or a monologue as a stimulus, create an interpretation or reflection on the work using specific choreographic structures

50. INTERMEDIATE THEATRE ARTS Culture • I can use theatre arts to explore concepts of civics and economics, such as systems, functions, structures, democracy, economies, and interdependence. • Exemplar 1: Budget Analysis for a production - upload pre-planning budget & final cost/profits • Exemplar 2: Upload PPT, analysis, video presentation of linking Broadway shows to economic interdependence or how they helped to influence
