DocuSign Envelope ID:06CEEEC8-EDB6-42D5-AD51-21357BE60FF7 <br /> Cirruculum and The residencies are all carefully aligned with curriculum, as well as <br /> Enrichment the corresponding shows students see at The ArtsCenter. For <br /> example, in October 2018, Teaching Artist Kim Arrington worked with <br /> students to enhance writing (through poetry, scripts, etc.) and public <br /> speaking skills through drama (improvisation) and other art <br /> techniques, which aligned with the English Language Arts Curriculum <br /> Standards and the Arts Education Essential Standards (using <br /> movement, voice and writing to communicate ideas and feelings, <br /> understanding how to adapt sources, such as literature texts, poetry <br /> and speeches into scripts, etc.) and connected to the School Show <br /> "Spelling 2-2-5." All teaching artists develop detailed lesson plans <br /> prior to the start of residencies based on School Shows chosen by <br /> teachers and requested curriculum areas to be covered. The focused <br /> curriculum concepts are interwoven into the lesson plans to ensure <br /> solid connections to what students are learning in their classrooms. <br /> Furthermore, teachers also learn new arts integration techniques <br /> through professional development workshops where the principals <br /> and school leadership teams choose the specific curriculum and art <br /> foci for the workshops. Often times they choose concepts that tend <br /> to be difficult to students when learning via traditional teaching <br /> methods. <br /> Audience Description The following is a breakdown of demographic information per school: <br /> - Central Elementary (268 total students): 105 White, 90 African- <br /> American, 49 Hispanic, 24 Multi-Racial; 73% Free/Reduced Lunch <br /> - New Hope elementary (582 total students): 311 Hispanic, 193 White, <br /> 38 African-American, 33 Multi-Racial, 5 Asian, 2 American Indian; 64% <br /> Free/Reduced Lunch <br /> - Efland-Cheeks Global Elementary (458 total students): 190 White, <br /> 116 Hispanic, 96 African-American, 35 Multi-Racial, 19 Asian, 2 <br /> American Indian; 67% Free/Reduced Lunch <br /> - Grady Brown Elementary (463 total students): 224 White, 152 - <br /> Hispanic, 54 African-American, 29 Multi-Racial, 3 Asian, 1 American <br /> Indian; 55% Free/Reduced Lunch <br /> Location Description The art residencies will take place at all four Title 1 schools in the <br /> Orange County Schools' district: New Hope Elementary, Central <br /> Elementary, Efland-Cheeks Global Elementary and Grady Brown <br /> Elementary.
