Please note: A residency must be a minimum of 8 sessions (if elementary) or 5 sessions (if secondary) with the same core group of students. Each session is a minimum of 30 minutes for lower elem. and 45 minutes for upper elem. and above. If performances are included, they must be supportive of the residency. If different grade levels have different topics and rationales, please list separately by grade. You may use 2-3 sentences per grade.
Teachers should understand that the residencies are partnerships in which they play an active and essential role: co-planning, reflecting and assessing with the teaching artist, following through in-between artist visits to support the learning goals, and learning from and using the professional development strategies outlined in this application.
Administrative and faculty support is important to the success of the Artists in the Schools Program. Use this section to demonstrate the school’s support of arts learning. Please be specific.
