Arts Team Leader-STJES

Page history last edited by Sarah B. Thomas 13 years, 6 months ago

I am the former Team Leader of the Arts Dept at my current school. (I have now passed this baton on and hold the roll of 5-6 Team Leader.) In this role I coordinated the visual and performing arts staff, facilitate programs, establish communication lines, and encourage professional development. In preparation for this role, I have worked with colleagues and administrators to build the philosophy for the arts at STJES as well as articulate my new job role.

Philosophy: Arts Instruction

The arts serve a two-fold purpose in education; academic and aesthetic. Students gain a foundational academic understanding of arts through general instruction and, when appropriate, focused creating and performing opportunities. Students also study the arts to provide an opportunity for social-emotional connections to general academic subject matter as well as to create an outlet for artistic expression. Intentional arts instruction is fundamental to a well-balanced education.

The students of St. John’s will experience and gain understanding of the role of the Arts throughout the world and in their own lives through the acquisition of artistic vocabulary and skills and the exposure to a diverse range of artistic mediums. Students will build character and faith through participation in and appreciation of artistic performances both in the school and the community.

Programmatic Model: Visual and Performing Arts

The visual and performing arts program of STJES provides a broad spectrum of learning, performing, and appreciation experiences encompassing visual art, drama, instrumental and choral music, movement, and audio/visual production. Students in grades K-5 gain foundational instruction in art, music, movement, and drama. Students in grades 6-8 received specialized instruction on a rotational basis in art, music, drama, and a/v production while having the opportunity to create and perform at high levels through band, private instrumental lessons, chamber chorus, and artists workshop. Arts instruction is also genuinely connected to the general academic subjects through collaborative projects and cross-discipline experience
