  • There is a little audio issue at about 2:15 (and at the end) from my new microphone that I used for this. I couldn’t remove it without removing the whole piece. Please forgive me. ;)

    • Randy Barron Kennedy Center Teaching Artist. More info here

    • Kennedy Center teaching artists integrate arts into the curriculum. Much more focused on students creatively solving problems.
    • Arts integration is an approach to teaching where students create an art form to solve a problem.
    • Still want to have art taught as an art form,
    • Find ways to make kids guilty of learning.
    • Find ways to show movement with content areas.
    • Science and Poetry are areas that naturally relate to movement. Math is a little more difficult, so it may not connect with skills, but it does still connect with concepts.
    • Kids solve problems. Kids make water cycle through dance.
    • First drafts are not all that they do, it is just the beginning.
    • Integrating close reading of text and other strategies to make sure students understand content, as well as dance.
    • Playing with purpose.
    • Outside of comfort zone is in their learning zone.
    • Students use drawings, demonstrations, writing, and more to show what they are doing. Each child has their own record.
    • Randy started dancing at age 19.
    • Art integration is incredibly efficient.
    • Using verbal, physical, kinesthetic modalities.
    • Movement and dance gives them more of a reason to know something, makes it easy for kids to understand and remember.
    • Uncover the content versus cover the content.
    • Interleaving (or spiraling)
    • Tip for getting started: Find a Kennedy Center partnership to get started.
    • Principals: Make sure you let your teachers have a little breathing space.
