Purpose:
This session is to share with both coaches and teachers how to overcome the challenge of initiating a collaborative experience. We will share the narrative as well as the various skills, tools and strategies used, and allow for questions. The objective is that attendees will have communication and planning strategies to use with their collaborating educator(s). Here are one example of the narrative:
Art Collaboration:
The JH art teacher wanted to do something “different” with her 8th graders so we started with her listing the topics that she was wanting to cover. We then found a topic that I was also familiar with (Impressionism). From there, she determined what she wanted as the final product and we used backward design to created the lesson and activities. This included which activities would be hands-on and which would be tech-based. The result? A pre-activity where each student reproduced a square to a complete painting - they then compiled the pieces to reveal the full image; a flipped scenario where we used Kahoot to introduce the concepts; a Google Slides presentation, based on the Kahoot questions, that took student deeper into the concept; discussion of the final project (Pop Impressionism [or, Impressionism Parody] where students would choose a [Post]-Impressionist scene and add an animated character to the scene) and the process for choosing their subjects; students then sketched out the character and finally did a full-fledged drawing. They also presented their art to the class and students ended with a gallery walk where they responded to TAG peer review prompts about the artwork they were viewing.
Each of these items can be extended if changed to an interactive lecture platform.
