Arts Academy Meeting Notes, March 5, 2008
March 5, 2008 at 2:56 pm | In Minutes |Present:
- Vicky Stubbs
- Dave Nichols
- Diane Manzi
- Val Green
- Dave Beane
Vicky started by recounting her conversation with Lisa about the Dance program and the enrollment numbers.
- kids talking about what they like about the class (video?)
- important to talk about why this class is different than taking a class somewhere else.
- kids should get Phys Ed credit for the Dance class.
- need to go to the Phys Ed learning results and make sure everything is covered. Click here to see they Phys Ed MLRs.
- Bo could come into the Dance class and work with students on testimonials.
We took these ideas and others and here are the recommendations:
- check with John M. about Phys. Ed. credits
- check with Bo about leading students in writing testimonials
- check with Dave B. about a video montage for hallway, Channel 3 TV, and Web site
- check with Val about Web site update

Hey people I see my name here and actually Lisa has already asked me to do some writing with the class and I am starting next week on Tuesday.
I know I have said this before but I would love to see if there is a way to make an integrated class that could give students and English credit because that is the big one. I would be happy to try and come up with readings and a writing component to present to schools (in collaboration with Lisa) if this could fly.
I was talking to Dana and mentioned one of the things Lisa will be doing to draw students to the Dance program will be to explore the possibility of offering PE integrated credits for the Dance Program.
When he was the principal at PHS, he set up an agreement with the Portland School of Ballet offering the following:
*2 Phys-ed credits at the end of the student’s freshman year
*1 Health credit at the end of the student’s sophmore year
*2 Fine arts credits at the end of the student’s junior year
*2 Additional fine arts credits at the end of the student’s senior year
This is a great precedent for integrated credits for the dance program.
