Students will study poetry <br /> reflective of the Civil Rights Movement (and how it relates to music) and then write their own <br /> poetry, which will then connect to the show, "Sankofa: African American Music From Spirituals <br /> to Hip Hop." <br /> Students at Partnership Academy will participate in a five-day residency focused on literacy and <br /> character education through improvisation thus allowing them to experience self-growth in an <br /> enjoyable and safe environment. It improves self-confidence by allowing participants to notice <br /> their emotions, capabilities and behaviors. In addition, it teaches students how to work together <br /> collaboratively and effectively communicate with others. <br /> In addition to the residencies outlined above, classroom teachers will also participate in <br /> professional development workshops (at least one per year)where they will learn new <br /> strategies for using the arts as a vehicle for instruction. Principals and school leadership teams <br /> will choose the specific curriculum and art foci for the workshops. The workshops support <br /> teachers, providing them with tools and resources to incorporate arts integration into their daily <br /> instruction. <br /> The following is a breakdown of demographic information per school: <br /> Central New Hope Efland-Cheeks Partnership <br /> Elementary Elementary Elementary Academy <br /> Race/ Hispanic:47 Hispanic:280 Hispanic: 115 Hispanic:2 Hispanic:444 <br /> Ethnicity African- African-American: African-American: African- African-American: <br /> American: 121 58 112 American: 13 304 <br /> White: 138 White:243 White: 194 White: 13 White:588 <br /> Multi-Racial: 15 Multi-Racial :24 Multi-Racial:20 Multi-Racial: 1 Multi-Racial :60 <br /> Asian:7 Asian: 18 American Indian: Asian:25 <br /> American Indian: 1 1 American Indian:2 <br /> Hawaiian Pacific:3 Hawaiian Pacific:3 <br /> Age 5-11 5-11 - - - 5-11 - 12-18 - ----5-18 <br /> Gender Male: 178 Male:338 Male:227 Male: 15 Male:758 <br /> Female: 143 Female:278 Female:232 Female: 15 Female:668 <br /> Special EC: 35 EC: 106 EC:48 EC:O EC: 189 <br /> Services AIG: 15 AIG:22 AIG: 15 AIG:0 AIG:52 <br /> ESL:20 ESL: 180 ESL:64 ESL: 1 ESL:265 <br /> Central Elementary, through a partnership with The ArtsCenter and Orange County Schools, <br /> has participated in this program since 2008.
