DocuSign Envelope ID:25B97CDA-7A0C-4ED5-BCD8-9873F30CBE31 4'. The residencies are all carefully aligned with curriculum, as well as the corresponding shows students see at The ArtsCenter. For example, in October 2016 Teaching Artist Kim Arrington worked with second grade students at Central Elementary to help them gain a better understanding of conflict resolution and community building through storytelling, theater and poetry. The residency prepared students to see Maddog and Me: Bullying and the Power of Kindness, by David Gonzales, at The ArtsCenter. Example student activities include writing and performing "I am" poems, creating "kindness recipes," engaging in storytelling activities with partners, self-reflections and participating in anti-bullying skits as a group. In order to ensure teachers are also learning new instructional strategies to teach curriculum they can implement after the residency is over, they will also participate in at least one school- wide professional development workshop on arts integration each year. During the workshops, teaching artists will work with teachers on specific arts integration strategies to teach specific curriculum concepts. Principals and school leadership teams will choose the specific curriculum and art foci for the workshops, and often times they choose concepts that tend to be difficult to students when learning via traditional teaching methods. The workshops support teachers, providing them with tools and resources to incorporate arts integration into their daily instruction.
