Abstract
The Art TEAMs project addressed different art forms including: (1) Visual arts, (2) Emerging Media Arts, (3) Dance/Movement, and (4) Poetry. Other content areas included: (1) Science, (2) Language Arts, and (3) Social Studies. The project completed the development of all measures and research procedures for year one. We successfully recruited our first cohort of educators and were able to deliver our summer workshops and a fall workshop with great feedback from participants slightly ahead of our original plan. Summer workshops were an introduction to the Teaching with Arts and Emerging Media (Art TEAMs) project. Course A/B were designed to reimagine the relationship between teachers and learners and envision a new future for how teaching and learning could look. We explored foundational ideas in arts-centered learning: how students learn through interaction with each other through investigating things, building things, dreaming things, and engaging in topics they are passionate about. Pedagogy and practical approaches to teaching any subject through trans-disciplinary themes, arts, and emerging media, were introduced, modeled, and practiced. The goal was to give teachers a moment to catch a breath, to encounter theory, to engage in slow learning, to reconnect to their own relationship with teaching and learning, to write/build/make, and to imagine and pursue new directions. As promised in our proposal, we developed the curriculum for the first three professional development courses as detailed in Section C of the full report. All of outcomes and performance measures included in the Art TEAMs proposal were met.
