Join us here for a Summer Book Study on The Daily 5 and The Cafe Book. Hosted by We Read, We Blog, We Teach. Want to learn more about A+ Schools? There are quite a few A+ schools in North Carolina. Click on the map above to explore!
Browsing through the websites, I came across some interesting pages. My personal favorites are: The art album at Davenport Elementary The student resources page at White Oak Elementary The ARTS page at the Durham School of the Arts The school productions page at Arts Based Elementary School The Diggs-Latham Art Blog at Diggs-Latham Elementary The What is a School of the Arts? page at Benton Heights Elementary The entire website at Bugg Elementary The slideshow on the homepage at Douglas Elementary The school artwork Artsonia page at East Millbrook Magnet Middle Have fun! Kristin Jackson This year, my school is becoming an A+ school. This blog is intended to document the hard work and hilarity of our journey to A+ status. As if this challenge is not monumental enough, add on a change of grade level, a new slate of teammates, a new classroom, an entirely new set of Common Core and N.C. Essential Standards, and I feel that this year will be completely blog worthy! It is my intent to invite some additional hard-working and hilarious teachers to blog with me, so that you will enjoy the perspectives and resources of various grade levels. What is A+? I had the same question. While looking forward to our five day A+ training in July, I had to do some investigating on my own. This website explains and includes the following quote: "The A+ Schools Program is a whole-school reform model that views the arts as fundamental to teaching and learning in all subjects. A+ Schools combine interdisciplinary teaching and daily arts instruction, offering children opportunities to develop creative, innovative ways of thinking, learning and showing what they know. In A+ Schools, teaching the state’s mandated curriculum involves a collaborative, many-disciplined approach, with the arts continuously woven into every aspect of a child’s learning." My teammates and I are incredibly excited about this opportunity! I hope you enjoy following along as we embark on our 2012-2013 Journey to A+ Kristin Jackson
