Challenge students in decision making and problem solving throughout the arts production process to support, measure and assess the outcome Create problem solving opportunities that allow students to formulate decisions in arts production/creation to show evidence of artistic growth Engage students in discussion/discovery about the arts production process to show evidence of understanding Fail to employ strategies for creative/ critical thinking and selfexpression to support Common Core standards and arts based learning. 1.2 NGSSS: ARTS BIG IDEA: Innovation, Technology and the Future 1.2 CLUSTER DESCRIPTION: Apply 21 ST Century Skills and Artistic Problem Solving 1.2 DESIRED OUTCOME: Arts teachers apply 21 st Century Skills to drive creativity and artistic problem solving, supporting innovation and artistic risk taking to stimulate the imagination and prepare students to compete in a global economy.

1.3 NGSSS: ARTS BIG IDEA: Skills, Techniques and Processes 1.3 CLUSTER DESCRIPTION: Refine technical skills for mastery and refinement 1.3 DESIRED OUTCOME: Arts teachers will refine and master technical skills related to their specific arts content area to further develop skills, techniques and processes that support learning, creation, mastery and refinement through purposeful practice LEVEL 4 LEVEL 3 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 1 Evaluate multiple forms of documentation that technical skills refined were purposefully delivered and practiced as evidenced through student performance/portfoli o showing student growth in their art form over time Promote student engagement in the process of artistic exploration, experimental learning and creating in the arts. Challenge students to continually practice and reinforce essential artistic processes that include remembering, focusing on and sequencing information in the creation of an arts form. Use student work to exhibit documentation that technical skills refined through training were delivered Structure lessons to support artistic exploration and experimental learning Practice artistic processes that include focusing on and sequencing information in the creation of an art form. Deliver technical skills learned in training with evidence of student growth through performance/portfolio Focus on artistic exploration in the classroom Differentiate artistic processes related to focusing on and sequencing information (and cumulative steps) in the creation of an art form.

Data Collection Plan End Goal of plan: Arts teachers will advance in technical skill and develop strategies to support critical/creative thinking and the implementation of Common Core. Teachers will increase one level of mastery annually through participation in professional development aligned to their professional development plan and school goals until proficiency is exhibited. What type of data needs to be collected? Student products: portfolio & performance documentation Teacher reflection postings, images or productions What sources of data will help the investigation? Data uploaded electronically or provided through another electronic source Teacher postings, images or productions uploaded into a site Are the data available or do new data need to be collected? Need to collect new data after the training has been provided Need to collect during training Where are these data located? Participants will submit data to district office or trainer Participants will post to designated site or submit to trainer Who will be responsible for collecting these data? supervisor or trainer Trainer When will these data be collected? One month post training During training and/or as part of the implementation plan Professional Development reports Needs Assessment Rosters, cancellation and completion reports, Business Event Appraisal reports Teachers self reporting of proficiency related to desired outcomes or principal identification of teacher needs New data New data database Survey PGP data supervisor supervisor After course closes Prior to training Broward County Public Schools Page 5
