STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) Plan
The STEAM Pathway will conain several core
components to support its success:
>>>>> An integrated approach to learning which
requires an intentional , assessments, and lesson/design implementation
>>>>>
Two or more standards from Science,
Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics are to be taught AND assessed
iun and through each other
>>>>> inquiry, collaboration, and emphasis on
process-based learning
>>>>> Utilizing and leveraging the integrity of the
arts themselves
MPS Comprehensive Arts Plan
Goals
Goals 1
>>>>>
Schools will provide consistent, sequential, and culturally relevant
Fine Arts education for all students.
>>>>> Meet the minimum requirements of MN State
Statute 120B.021.
>>>>> Align curriculum to the 2020-2021 MN State
Academic Standards in the Arts.
>>>>> Predictable staffin of license K-12 Fine
Arts specialists.
Goals 2
>>>>>
Targeted support to increase access to the Arts in schools.
>>>>> Increase access to instrumental music
programs.
>>>>> Increase opportunities for artist
residencies and teacher professional development.
>>>>> meet the minimum requirements of MN State
Statute 120B.021
Goals 3
>>>>>
Develop a foused Arts pathway for students K-12.
Region 1 >>>>> Follow designated K-8 STEAM pathway to North
(9-12) or FAIR (9-12)
Region 2 >>>>> Folwell to FAIR (9-12)
Develop a focused Arts Pathway for
students K-12
Region 1
>>>>> Bethune K-5 (Turnaround Arts), Cityview K-5
(turnaround Arts), Hall (K-5 STEAM) >>>
Franklin MS 6-8 (STEAM) >>> North (STEAM)
or FAIR (citywide Arts).
>>>>> Strong arts Programmin should continue at
Bethune and Cityview and those schools can feed i
into Franklin MS.
>>>>> Strong arts programming can be built into
the STEAM model and maintain a pathway to North--- or for those who chose --- to FAIR.
While the focus of STEAM is integration, those sites will still need to
offer the state requirements of at least two art forms and ensure that students
are meeting states statutes.
Develop a focused Arts Pathway for
students K-12
FAIR HS Programming Recommendations
>>>>> FAIR HS should remain citywide and also
become a metrowide magnet program for the Arts.
FAIR would shift from a focus on Arts
integration and move towards a conservatory model for the Arts. Students would choose an area of focus
(visual or performing arts) and take pre-professional course in those areas
that would prepare them for work as a professional artist, as well as
arts-related post-secondary education.
Stronger partnerships with our local Arts community would need to be
formed and ther are opportunities to do so, based on our current partnerships
that we have with the Cowles Center, MIA, The Guthrie, the Children’s Theater,
Northrop, The Ordway, and the MN Orchestra.
There will be need to be a focus on developing partnerships with
diverse, multicultural artist from across the metro area.
>>>>> Additional or supplementary funding may be
needed to ensure all of the Arts areas are present at this site, especially
during the first few years of development.
Ethnic Studies
Ethnic Studies for All
Can be done as a graduation requirement or
simply a scheduling requirement for schools, similar to how some are doing
Human Geography now.
>>>>> Percentage of students impacted = %100
>>>>> The more teachers engage in this work, the
greater the impact on other Social Studies courses.
>>>>> provides options for what we count as Ethnic
Studies--- for example an ELA or Art
class might qualify.
>>>>> Response to PPE findings.
Ethnic Studies is US History
Through a Rigorous Course Waiver, allow for
two semesters of Ethinc Studies courses to replace
The two semester of US History, similar to
how it works for AP/IB classes.
>>>>> Percentage of students impacted = unknown
>>>>> Allows student choice in how they obtain
their US History credit.
>>>>> Legitimizes Ethnic Studies.
Ethnic Studies Elective
Courses remain as is, with student
enrollment determing what is offered (or not) at each school.
>>>>> Percentage of students impacted = this year
8% are enrolled (25% would mean that everyone is enrolled at some point in
their 4 years)
.
>>>>> Least disruption of the status quo
