SCHOOL VISION:

that proves that fine arts is more than an extra curricular course and is
beneficial to student learning.
- To provide quantitative data to the stakeholders
that shows that students who are involved in fine arts programs provide
less distractions through discipline problems and the overall academic
success of students than those not involved.
- To address the benefits and purpose of a successful
fine arts program to the stakeholders by educating them on the ways fine
arts programs can be used as an addition to the core curriculum to further
students’ education.
- To provide the necessary tools to the district in
order to justify building the fine arts programs through funding and

REFLECTION:
During the process of developing my action research plan I was able to refine my ideas for researching the inquiry. This also helped me decide on actions to be taken for the future improvement for my school.
I think that fine arts program should become a part of the core curriculum because it is so important to develop an aesthetic sense to appreciate art. I did not realize this until I took the art appreciation class which is a required core class to obtain a bachelor's degree. I also think fine arts really helps a person to vent out all their grudges and feelings and it can substantially help in reducing disciplinary issues.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't suggest any changes to your plan, Stacy. It looks great and I'm interested in your topic! You are very organized and thorough. I look forward to following you!
ReplyDeleteI have "trouble" students in my art class. When they are in my class they are not in trouble. They seem to relax and enjoy drawing or painting or creating. One girl yesterday said, "I like painting, it is so relaxing." This is a great topic. I look forward to your end results.
ReplyDeleteI think your plan is right on target. I also feel that fine arts programs should become core classes. Art and music serve as such a large part of who we are. I look forward to your results!
