Introduction To Visual Art Blueprint Professional Development
The Office of the Arts and Special Projects provides citywide
professional development in the implementation of the Blueprint
for Teaching and Learning in the Arts. Central and regional professional
development sessions are led by master teachers—outstanding
public school arts teachers identified by the DOE—and teaching
artists—professional artists from local cultural organizations.
During these sessions, teachers explore the five Blueprint strands
of arts education and learn strategies for lesson plan building
and engaging children in the arts. Teachers participate in hands-on
projects, allowing them to directly apply the lessons learned
at training sessions to their classrooms. The Office of Arts
and Special Projects also supplies teachers with toolkits containing
materials and resources to implement these projects in the classroom.

Making the Arts Count in Early Grades: Visual Arts develops the teaching practice of early childhood educators enabling them to create and deliver meaningful visual arts experiences to their students. The full-day sessions will be held on Thursday, March 11 th , Friday, April 16 th and Friday, May 7 th . The first and third sessions will be at the Metropolitan Museum of Art; the second session will be held at MoMA.
The emphasis of each session is on Blueprint Strand 1: Art Making and each workshop has a strong arts making component. In addition, during the course teachers work in the galleries with exemplary art educators and learn how to:
- use works of art to develop students' writing, speaking and listening skills
- enhance the early childhood social studies curriculum with works of art
- introduce young children to the formal analysis of a work of art
- integrate museum visits into the early childhood curriculum
Along with this training, the Q and A sessions at the end of each workshop and rich classroom resources will further enable early childhood educators to provide exemplary arts instruction for their students. All participants are expected to maintain art journals, create learning activities for their students based on the knowledge they acquire and share these activities with the peers during sessions 2 and 3.
Teams must consist of two to five teachers from grades Pre-K to 3. Teams may include elementary level arts specialists. Please select staff members who will actively share what they have learned with their colleagues. The entire team is required to participate in all three workshop dates. Schools can register more than one team but the online registration must be submitted separately for each team. Space is limited to 60 participants.

The Museum Ambassadors Program is a rigorous museum-based series in which administrators and teachers of visual arts, language arts and social studies examine the points at which their curriculum areas intersect, and the ways students can benefit from cross-curriculum instruction.
Participants will work in the galleries and resource centers of the museum, meet museum staff members and receive an in depth look at an arts institution. Emphasis is placed on classroom connections; teachers will create a learning activity based on knowledge gained at each session and share it with peers. Please note: for those who participated in previous years, this is not a repeat of past Museum Ambassadors Programs at the Met.
An ARIS Connect community will be created for participants to share ideas and work between sessions.

How reflective are you about your teaching practice? Give yourself the luxury of time to reflect on what you do as a teacher to affect student achievement in the visual arts by joining us for a three-part professional development series.
Collaborative Inquiry for Effective Arts Teaching: Taking Time to Reflect, Question and Design invites you to reflect upon and question your practice as visual arts teachers...really look at the decisions and choices you make as educators. Teachers are invited to form collaborative groups around a common line of inquiry. Drawing upon experiences and talents you bring to lesson and unit planning, and building upon the assessment work we did last year, teachers design a plan that will yield fresh ways of looking at their practice. Following are several examples of inquiry topics that deal with the real issues of instruction you deal with each day
Several examples of inquiry topics are:
-
How can I meet the needs of my students in a particular medium?
-
Which students aren't I reaching and what can I be doing to get to them?
-
Why isn't a teaching technique working?
-
What problems am I grappling with as I create my lesson or unit plans?
-
What issues of classroom management do I want to address and improve upon?
During each session you also will have the opportunity to work with museum educators from leading New York City art institutions and/or engage in art making activities.
