Maine Arts Assessment Initiative – NEW Website!

August 12, 2014

Created for you!

The crazy adventure/uncharted territory known as the Maine Arts Assessment Initiative (MAAI) is now 4 years old. During that time, over 1,000 Arts educators have participated in MAAI activities, including workshops, state Conferences, Webinars, courses, and on and on. One of the unforeseen benefits of all this professional development has been the excavation of vast amounts of materials and documents to further our understanding and our work. From rubric construction and advice on implementing standards, to blogs, publications, and web resources, it seems that there’s little out there that hasn’t been unearthed in the process of working as colleagues in this state. Along those lines, it has been a bit of a pipe dream to create a web site that actually stores all of these resources in a user friendly format; “one stop shopping” for all things Arts Assessment. Being unveiled here is the manifestation of that goal, maineartsassessment.com.

4747f3_6f5e396b05ab40d581b036ea6c487644

The website is split into easily searchable topics: Assessment Documents, Helpful Videos, “tons” of Web Links and Advocacy. We also decided to make this site the home page for MAAI, so there is a link there giving the mission, history and present day activities for educators to plug themselves into. Also featured is a “Proficiency Toolkit”, providing a step-by-step process by which Arts educators can move forward in their work to meet local and state requirements, adopting standards work in their own programs/schools/classrooms in ways that make sense to them.

All of us in MAAI are extraordinarily proud of the work that’s going on across the state. But it’s all for naught unless the work continues. Here is a way to access all the amazing resources out there in the world that will help us do so. Take a peek at the website when you get a few minutes, and hop onto the areas that resonate the most with your own professional needs. We welcome feedback and suggestions as this site continues to spring to life, and hope you will utilize it as a favorite “go to” site in the months and years to come.

A GREAT big thank you to Rob Westerberg for his numerous hours of work bringing together all of the information and creating the new website!

What are the Summit Participants Saying?

August 9, 2014

Summit on Arts Education, July 29-August 1, 2014

If you follow the Maine Arts Ed blog you are aware of all the posts during the last several days that have to do with a component of the Summit. You might be wondering: What are the participants saying about the Summit?”

Summit_photo1

Summit on Arts Education participants

Soooooo…. here is some of the feedback that was collected electronically from teachers at the conclusion of each day:

Overall comments:

  • I have not had a professional development in assessment before and it was great!
  • Plenty of opportunities to meet people and collaborate
  • There was an incredible diversity of knowledge, and information that was shared continuously
  • Everyone was full of energy and ideas. It made me really excited to start integrating what I’ve learned!
  • This week, I was able to take all the various pieces I’ve worked with (from over the past couple years) and consolidate them into a plan that fits my teaching style and my curriculum!
  • Every conversation I had was meaningful

What did I learn (on specific topics) on the first day:

  • Student-centered classroom, assessment and classroom strategies
    • I learned about backward design
    • Student-centered learning is the foundation of a standards-based classroom.
    • “I Can” statements for standards, how others are assessing successfully
  • How do I organize information
    • I learned that I can only absorb so much. There is a lot to absorb here!
    • That my brain is still very much in summer mode.
    • Self and educational discovery takes time and is hard work
  • Advocacy
    • Arts assessment is in part, advocation for our art programs.
    • The webinar with Washington was very interesting and enlightening, I had no idea about what happens at that end of the spectrum. Wonderful to see how people are advocates.
  • MAAI and teacher leaders
    • That Maine has a dedicated group of professionals united in working on assessment to improve teaching and learning.
    • I learned about the responsibilities of a teacher leader.
    • How a visual arts teacher went through the process of becoming a teacher leader
    • MAAI is there to support my art ed learning that meets my needs. I felt like I should have been involved in MAAI sooner!
  • Collaboration
    • Everyone can be a resource in areas they are passionately curious about
    • The need to collaborate is essential!
  • Standards and proficiency
    • The idea of “Power Standards” seems like a good place to start
    • Using Standards-based assessments involves working towards clear goals or ‘big ideas’& communicating those goals to students, empowering students to take ownership of their progress towards these goals, and giving feedback along the way.
  • Technology
    • New resources are available in a variety of media, which will help inform my teaching and assessment practices
    • I learn that digital portfolios are something several of us are working on.
  • Teaching Artists
    • I learned what a teaching artist is.
    • Good inquiry about the role of the teaching artist

I will share more participant feedback in the future. Thanks to Jeff Beaudry for collecting the information and sharing it with participants each morning during the Summit!

Resource Bank

August 7, 2014

Unveiled at the Summit on Arts Education, July 23

julie

Julie Richard, Executive Director, Maine Arts Commission, announcing the MAAI Resource Bank

What do you get when you bring together intelligent, creative arts teachers from all over Maine and let them spend time together to talk about what they do? To share what they do best? To learn from each other? Then ask them to return home and do the same for others? You get a ripple effect. You get contagious enthusiasm. You get shared and improved resources. Strategies for improving teaching and learning. Bucketsful of Aha moments.  Discoveries. Connections. Networks. Zoom meetings! Who benefits from all this? Arts teachers, certainly. Teaching and Learning, definitely. And Students, ultimately!

When the Maine Arts Assessment Initiative (MAAI) started in 2010, the teacher leaders planned workshops, conferences, webinars, videos. Graduate courses for deeper study in music and art assessment were created. Resources were created, collected, shared. Soon, there was something really worth sharing with the larger world. Technology made it possible to live in Frenchville and share ideas and strategies with someone in Cape Elizabeth. Being the creative problem solvers that defined this group, the teacher leaders decided that a common place was needed  to “deposit” the tools, literature, videos, lesson plans, units, and assessments so that all could have these at their fingertips. Thus, the idea for the Resource Bank was born.

While it did go through a series of name changes – Depository… Repository… Resource Bank, the idea was the same throughout – teachers wanted a searchable place to put things anyone could use. But there were challenging questions to resolve first, such as how to ensure that the resources were high quality? Who would evaluate them?   What would a “peer reviewer” do? How would the Resource Bank be sustained? Where would it be housed?  What kind of template, if any, could be designed so that anyone could use them to upload resources? It was decided to narrow the focus in the first year to the development of standards based units.

In 2013, the Maine Arts Commission funded a six member team of teacher leaders representing Visual Art, Music and Theater, at elementary, middle and high school levels, who were be charged with two things: 1)  Create two full standards-based units, including assessments, lesson plans and resources, and 2) Create templates that anyone could use to submit resources to the bank in the future or to develop arts curricula for classroom use.

Mission 2013-14 accomplished! There are now 12 complete standards-based units, which can be accessed on the Resource Bank wiki located at http://maairesourcebank.pbworks.com/. These serve two purposes: 1) to be shared and/or adapted by other teachers for their own classroom use, and 2) as exemplars of quality arts curriculum work. The templates for unit design, lesson plans and assessments are available for all to use.

But our work has only begun. Julie Richard, Executive Director of the Maine Arts Commission announced the debut of the Resource Bank at the Summit on Arts Education in Portland last week. Jake Sturtevant presented a review of the work and critical friends and teacher leaders made recommendations for moving forward.

Imagine the possibilities. Quality arts resources of all kinds, in a searchable home base. Opportunities to share the best ideas and tools. The feedback from the Summit participants and teacher leaders in Phase IV will determine the next steps. Stay tuned. Teachers in the arts are leading the way!

This post was written by Catherine Ring who is on the Leadership Team of the MAAI and was project manager of the Resource Bank project in 2013. Catherine is also the Executive Director of the New England Institute for Teacher Education.

The teacher leaders involved in this important work during the 2013-14 school year:
Jennie Driscoll, visual arts, grades 9-12, Brunswick High School
Brian McPherson, visual arts, grades K-5, Woodside Elementary
Jeff Orth, visual arts, grades 7-12, Richmond Middle and High School
Jenni Null, music, grades K-12, Lake Region School District
Jake Sturtevant, music, grades 9-12, Bonny Eagle High School
Beth Lambert, performing arts, grades 9-12, Carrabec High School

Day 4: Summit on Arts Ed

August 6, 2014

Teacher Leaders plus!

On Friday, August 1 we met for a fourth day of the Summit with veteran teacher leaders and those newly selected and those applying to be teacher leaders for the 2014-15 school year! It was a very exciting day; teachers presented their ideas from their Individual Action Plans and we discussed the plans for Phase 4. As I looked around the room I couldn’t help but marvel at the articulate group!  I couldn’t be more proud of the commitment Maine arts educators have to providing high quality arts education to all students. It is amazing to think that the Maine Arts Assessment Initiative (MAAI) is starting Phase 4. YAHOOOO!

MAAI has accomplished a great deal in three short years and the plans continue to unroll as teachers step up to take on a leadership role in using our mission:

“Creating an environment in Maine where quality assessment in arts education is an integral part of the work all arts educators do to deepen student learning in the Arts“

To date we have 52 teacher leaders and a handful of leadership team members who are committed to carrying out the MAAI mission. In the near future I will announce the next set of teacher leaders who will join the 52 plus five Teaching Artists that have stepped up this year for professional development in arts education.

Day 3: Summit on Arts Ed

August 5, 2014

Another worthwhile day at the Summit provided by the Maine Arts Assessment Initiative – a program of the Maine Arts Commission

Day 3 started off with an amazing presentation by Maine Arts Assessment Initiative (MAAI) teacher leader and Lisbon Art Teacher, Pam Ouellette. The topic was Literacy and the Arts but Pam made it clear from the beginning that her teaching incorporates the literacy in a very clear pathway. It isn’t about how the arts enhance literacy but how literacy enhances the arts. During Pam’s graduate program at Boston University Pam studied Creativity and Literacy and immediately formulated a way to incorporate her learning and best practices on the topic in her high school classroom. Even though Pam teaches Visual Arts she is able to easily adopt her practices for all the arts disciplines.

The Summit participants worked on their Individual Action Plans (and team plans) to further their ideas for implementation in their schools/districts. During the afternoon they participated in the All Share Showcase presenting their ideas to the Summit participants. Each participant received numerous comments to help them proceed. The afternoon included MAAI Teacher Leader stories and some amazing door prizes!

Teams and individuals started work on an Individual (or team) Action Plan so they could hit the ground running when returning to their schools/districts. The Phase 5 Maine Arts Assessment Initiative (MAAI) Teacher Leader’s Individual Action Plans focus on the workshops they plan to provide during the 2014-15 school year.

Maine Art Education Association secretary and MAAI teacher leader, Lisa Ingraham, provided the “chair” template so teachers could use their creativity to contribute to the wall of chairs. Lisa and her colleague Jim Small from Madison School District are seen in this post in front of the growing wall of chairs.

It was the second day of the Summit on Arts Education filled with high quality professional development. The 90 participants went away having learned a great deal, and with new questions about their understanding of teaching, learning, and assessment in arts education.

We had a great first day at USM, Portland at the Summit on Arts Education. The energy was high and the participants were busy filling their minds. Information was shared and questions flying! The day started with sessions on Essential Questions and Leadership. Participants gained insight on Effective Teaching in the Student-centered classroom and were treated to showcases presented by Teaching Artists. Each teacher started brainstorming ideas to create an individual action plan. The day wrapped up with an electronic conversation with the State Education Agency Directors of Arts Education at their ssessment conference taking place in D.C. Julie Richard, Director of the Maine Arts Commission, unveiled the Teacher Resource Bank. The day was jam packed and flew by!

Tuesday, July 29, 7:00-8:00pm at the Maine College of Art, 522 Congress St, Portland, ME.

Screen Shot 2014-06-23 at 2.27.24 PMWe have a wonderful opportunity to help influence the future of our community and the future of our state. Please join me  to participate in a discussion about the kinds of creative opportunities and activities you would like to see available for our residents, our children, and our families.
