  1. Art and Science: Creativity and Collaboration Helena Carmena, Assistant Director of Teacher Professional Development

  2. Today’s presentation will include… • Introduction to the Project • Five Creative Strategies • Collaboration: Across Institutions • Challenges • Next Steps

  3. Science, Literacy, and Art Integration in the 21st Century • Collaboration with the school district and community partners such as museums • Teacher Professional Development Program Pre K-12 • Various educational outcomes • Shared planning time • Integrated lessons • New teaching pedagogy focused on skills and process • Authentic relevant learning in/out of the classroom

  4. SLANT Model Program Situation: There is a shortage of rich arts and science programs for students that include creativity, real-world problem solving, and discussions. Insufficient numbers of students are graduating with 21st century skill sets. Teachers needs strategies, time, and resources to integrate art and science across the curriculum. INPUTS OUTPUTS OUTCOMES PROGRAM STAFF ACTIVITIES PARTICIPATIONS SHORT MEDIUM LONG Professional development and collaboration time School district students, teachers, and leadership Teachers collaborate in using resources from workshops to develop curricula or specific projects. Classroom time for project based learning and art and science increases. SLANT teacher leaders use trans-disciplinary methods and mentor peers. COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS AND PARTNERS Website, articles, research, and presentations developed to share resources internally and externally. Student equity and achievement improves. Documentation and assessment Community partners and organizations Teacher and student learning is documented. SCHOOL DISTRICT TEACHERS AND STUDENTS Teacher retention improves. Teacher and student use of program materials A model framework is developed. Teachers increase their content knowledge of art and science integration and interdisciplinary teaching. A platform has been established for SLANT longevity. Institution of higher education A majority of SLANT teachers continue in program and use trans-disciplinary teaching strategies. Model development MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES A national model is developed and distributed. ASSUMPTION: Teachers are given continued support to collaborate and participate in professional development. EXTERNAL FACTORS: State and district budgets, staffing, prioritization, funding for research and evaluation, teacher retention, and equity issues.

  5. 5 Creative Strategies from Dr. Julia Marshall • Depiction • Projection • Reformatting • Mimicry • Metaphor

  6. Addressing the Significance of Our Work Bay Area Organizations doing similar work ponder these questions below related to Art and Science Integration: Disciplinary: How does it help us see the world in a different way? Societal: How does it speak to the concerns of society at large? Personal: How does it resonate with learners’ and teachers’ hopes, desires, curiosity, and needs? Adapted from Making Learning Whole by David Perkins

  7. Moving through Challenges How do we leverage our resources in the most meaningful way to address challenges? buy-in & stakeholders funding & resources silos & defining the work time research

  8. Teacher Feedback • “Students will able to make connections a whole lot easier and it will be more engaging”. • “It was great to use new technology.” • " I have realized that I can't expect my students to be creative unless I am involved in the creative process myself. The SLANT training has given me this opportunity, which is truly a gift.” • “I valued time to research, build, consider, evaluate, be creative, and collaborate.” • “I appreciate the out of box experiences that enable me to think of teaching in different ways.” • “I now see clearly that art and science are both documents of life.”

  9. Lessons Learned • Know your audience • Identify goals • Seek out authentic collaborations • Process is more important than outcome • Documentation

  10. Reflections & Next Steps Stay Informed Be Active Comments Questions

  11. Group Discussion What is your museum or science center doing to promote creativity and collaboration?slant?
