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.

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.
