Arts Academy Meeting Notes, Mar. 26, 2007
March 26, 2007 at 1:40 pm | In Minutes | No CommentsSummary:
Meeting adjourned at 2:40 p.m.
Next meeting: Wednesday, 3/28 at 1:10 (during staff dev)
Please get a copy of Lisa’s handout if you don’t have one; we will be doing Plan 2.
This Wednesday will be a kickoff meeting. All of our programs will meet together in the 3rd floor hallway at 8:15 and 11:15 and Lisa will describe what we’ll be doing to the students, and introduce Bo. All programs will then return to classrooms and Lisa will work with Fashion from 8:30-9:15 and Web Programming from 9:15-10:00 (see schedule below).
Things we need to do before Wednesday:
- emphasize to our students that we’re using writing to help release creativity
- tell our students why creativity is important in each of our disciplines, so that they know why we’re doing this
- different process than researching first and then writing after
- chance to stretch out of their program
- chance to collaborate with students from other programs
- talk to our students about the work we’re doing with the Arts Academy and why we think it’s important
Please see the bottom of this page for the schedule up to April break.

Next meeting: Wednesday, March 21st at 1:10 p.m. in the Music Room. During this staff dev. time we will meet with Lisa DiFranza. We will fill Dave N. in on the meeting later, since he will be at Bo’s "nasty textbooks" focus group. Val will attend the AARAT meeting and will meet with Bo later.
Meeting adjourned at 2:15 p.m.
Next Wednesday will be the first student meeting for this project. Lisa D. will be here on Wednesdays, probably 3/28 and 4/4, and then in May on 5/2 and 5/9. Final projects may take more time to complete than just Wednesday time, but we’ll have to see.
We will probably split our classes up into 2 groups. Phil is looking for a place where each group can meet to do group writing. Maybe the 3rd floor hallway?
We should all prepare to commit the day before PATHSFest to setup.
Lisa H. will ask Lisa D. about coming from 10-11 on Wednesdays for extra dev. time. She will also ask Portland Stage about matching funds.
Bo distributed a copy of a chapter from Nel Noddings’s "Critical Lessons: What Our Schools Should Teach".

We will go forward with the HOME project! It’s fully supported by Dana. John will make sure that all L.I.T. members agree that we should get the $2500 from the L.I.T. money.
Next meeting we will talk about:
- Snack Shack details: what Phil would need from us
- how much class time can each of our classes spend per week on the HOME project?
- how we should schedule Bo so that he can be involved in the HOME project
new tag line for PATHSFest: "PATHSFest: A Celebration of Learning"
Snack Shack: Phil will think about it and tell us on Monday what he would require from all of us.
Jane will have a school store next year.
