Project
Description: Project SABER (Striving towards Arts Based Education and Resources -in Spanish "to know"), the partnership between Young Audiencies New York and the Cypress Hills Community School, seeks to continue the next phase of model maximizing 2nd language learning in and through the arts. The project's goal is to provide opportunities for all of PS89K's constituents to actively experience the arts in an interdisciplinary fashion and come to know and undersatnd content areas in a new light. The process will guide the growth of an intergrated, arts-based curriculum in this parent-founded, dual language, K-8 school. The project will also develop the school's sequential arts instruction linking school-based arts and classroom teachers and teaching artists. Programming will provide 12 session residencies for all classes in grades and electives, K-8 in which the linguistic scope and sequence is solidly in place. Professional Development will consist of study groups that employ Collaborative Assessment Protocals for reviewing student work. Teaching artists, classroom teachers, YANY staff and evaluators will work collaboratively to plan and implement these professional development activities and provide on-going feedback. Our year long partnership will culminating in our annual Arts Field Day in which classes will have the opportunity to participate in workshops with an artist from another class.  |
