How can we transform education to prepare students for the future job market in which the jobs of the past will no longer exist and there will be many jobs that don’t exist now? #documentary #artsed #edchat #edutwitter #education #artfullearningschools youtu.be/yj26EQdO-zQ

Principal Pam Perkins at Willow Elementary describes how the revolutionary #ArtfulLearning model provides academic rigor to high-achieving students. Since many of the units are inquiry-based, students critically think & make deep connections across the pieces & subjects they study.

Take a look at this clip from our #documentary, #HowDidYouLearnToday. It includes #Napa County's #Teacher of the Year and Willow Elementary's principal describing how the #ArtfulLearning model encourages students to have an #emotional #experience when they’re #learning something new!

Happy Thursday! We're looking forward to going on the road next week to share the #ArtfulLearning model with new schools across the country. Please enjoy this wonderful example of a Unit of Study described by a bright, young student. We think his explanation was quite thorough!

#ArtfulLearning's currently in the midst of training a new #DualLanguage school in #NapaValley called #UnidosMiddleSchool! We're in awe of the #passion & #openness that Napa’s educators have demonstrated over the past few days & we can't wait to see how the remaining days unfold!

The #ArtfulLearning team's had the pleasure of working with The Charles Burrell Visual & Performing Arts this week as they’ve learned several Arts-Based Skills & Strategies that heavily incorporate elements of #dance, #visualarts, #music, & #theatre—while linking them to the #Colorado standards. Take a look!

Happy #MusicInOurSchoolsMonth AND #TeachMusicWeek! “Children must receive musical instruction as naturally as food, and with as much pleasure as they derive from a baseball game. And this must happen from the beginning of their school lives.” Leonard Bernstein, 1977

We’re reeling from our packed day of ArkansasArtsAcademy's #ProfessionalLearning at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. Teachers were tasked with building #sculptures using #Twisteez wire inspired by #Chihuly, #Asawa, #Butterfield, & #Bourgeois works. Each piece’s use of colors and shapes is simply exquisite!
