The session will explore the following essential questions: What is the Core Shift in the new PA Core Standards and what does that mean for art education? How can we use PA Core Standards to accelerate our students learning about Art? How do we teach our students how writing is used in our discipline to: • write artist’s statements, • summarize what they have learned about art • demonstrate understanding of content area vocabulary • reflect on their work, what they've learned, and future artistic goals (metacognition). In what ways does General Academic Vocabulary make natural connections to art standards? What does the future look like for standards-based art education? Participants will engage in practical teaching strategies and also be provided time to network with other art teachers from across our region. Sharing of various projects and resources is highly encouraged so feel free to bring photos, lesson plans, examples, and websites to support collaboration in the area of art education.
