Cirruculum and <br />Enrichment <br />In combination with NC AIA’s dev eloped teaching techniques, and in <br />alignment with NC Essential Standards, residency competency goals <br />include: <br />• Use dance v ocabulary to describe how elements of mov ement <br />communicate ideas in dance. <br />• Understand cultural, historical, and interdisciplinary connections <br />with dance. <br />• Utilize multiple perspectiv es and criteria in ev aluating dances. <br />• Identify how other arts disciplines are integrated into dance creation <br />and performance. <br />• Explain the influence of the choreographer’s v ision and intent on <br />the creativ e process in dance. <br />• Interpret dance from personal, cultural, and historical contexts. <br />An ov erarching goal of the NC AIA program is to use the arts as a <br />platform to build strong communities. In partnership with staff at <br />Rashkis and at each of our 22 schools, through high quality dance <br />education, we focus on prov iding a well-rounded educational <br />experience to all students regardless of language barriers or <br />economic status. Our school staff recognize that supporting NC AIA <br />in their schools enriches students' learning. <br />Audience Description Rashkis has 451 children with these demographics: 22% are Asian; <br />12% are Hispanic; 17% are Black; 41% are W hite; 0.5% are American <br />Indian; and 8% are two or more races, and 33% participate in the Free <br />and Reduced Lunch program. The entire fourth grade of about 100 <br />students directly participates in our program. The entire school <br />watches the final performances, as do parents and community <br />members, board members and supporters. The parents’ racial and <br />cultural composition mirrors that of the students. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 375CB681-DA09-4299-B189-020A0CE5EBE5
