3 Stories That Reveal How Important Arts Education Really Is. The arts have always had a secondary place in K-12 learning. If you doubt that statement, think of the first programs to go whenever budget cuts are implemented – music, fine arts and even physical fitness which includes dance. I’ve yet to hear of a school board or administrators discussing the way cutting math programs could help the school’s bottom line. There is a hierarchy of academics in America, and arts education tends to fall pretty low on the totem pole. Let’s look at three notable events that show the state of arts education in America and what that reveals about our society. New York City schools lack arts education—and low-income students suffer the most. A report from the New York City comptroller finds that many public schools offer no arts programs, and that low-income and minority students are hurt the most by it.

The report is written based on data from the U.S. The biggest areas hit by the lack of arts teachers? The First Lady wants to make arts education a priority.

Faut-il retirer son argent et chercher d’ autres placements plus rémunérateurs ? Home | Parent Toolkit. Learning and Health. The sectors of health and education serve the same youth, in the same locations, and are often treating the same or related issues. The child who is unhealthy—physically, socially, emotionally, or mentally—struggles to excel in school just as the child who is underprepared by education struggles to maintain health and well-being, often for years to come. Learning and health are symbiotic, with one serving and supporting the other.

Although this concept has been understood for centuries, we have established systems that divide the child into parts, treating them as a set of pieces rather than a whole child. This division stems not from lack of care or understanding, but from systems established, funded, and built up to view these sectors as separate entities—even when serving the same individual. 1998: Health in Education Initiative 2006: Healthy School Communities Pilot Study 2007: Whole Child Initiative 2008: Healthy School Communities Program.

La révolution éducative annoncée pourrait venir d’Asie. Si de plus en plus de voix s’élèvent partout en occident et ailleurs pour remettre en question le système éducatif actuel, l’Inde me semble être pour l’instant le pays le plus avancé dans cette révolution, indépendamment du fait qu’aucune université indienne ne figure dans le top 100 du classement des meilleures universités du Monde. « Dans une société ignorante, le pouvoir se structure autour de la domination physique.

Foster Skills, Inc. About | TDed. In today’s K12 schools, students usually encounter potentially related skills and content knowledge in different classes, at different times in the school year, and with few connections between traditional content areas – math, science, social studies, and language arts. While this subject-centered approach allows for specialization, too often it promotes compartmentalized thinking, fortifies intellectual barriers, and snuffs out cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural epiphanies that are essential for navigating a 21st century marketplace.

By making contemporary, real-world issues the organizers of the curriculum, students (1) become more engaged in school and (2) are forced to think along multidisciplinary and multicultural lines in order to address broad, complex questions and offer real-world solutions. Many Ways to Tell a Story: How Transmedia Is Transforming Education In and Out of Classrooms. For one language arts class project, a middle school teacher in Shelburne, Virginia, Chad Sansing, asks his sixth graders to read Peter Cherches’s 1986 poem “Lift Your Right Arm,” and then translate it into computer code. The poem occurs in action sequences—for example, “Lift your right arm, she said. /I lifted my right arm.” Sansing and his class conceive a list of actions, sketch ideas of how to code them, using icons or letters, and then code the poem. In doing so, the students become producers of both a new language and way of seeing poetry. Sansing’s students have also translated the poem’s code into Scratch, to create animation, and into LEGO Mindstorms EV3, a robot-programming language.

This innovative way of engaging students with poetry is just one example of how educators are increasingly integrating transmedia techniques in their teaching and assessments.

Ecole communication SUP'DECOM - Nantes. Transmedia Education: Learn with Stories — Transmedia SF. My first formal exposure to transmedia was in my university class called Digital Culture, taught by English professor Gideon Burton. Although transmedia was only part of what we covered in that class, it became one of the most groundbreaking classes in my college experience.

Gideon Burton conducted his class differently from most other professors, especially the other English professors. It was tailored to our interests and had some value outside of the university. We didn’t just turn in a paper to be read only by the professor. We were encouraged to interact with people outside of the university, we kept blogs, and our projects became part of the vast network of digital culture. It felt like our work mattered. It was, in part, transmedia that made that class so different. Evidence is suggesting that storytelling is becoming a powerful tool to teach with. “After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.”
