Standards Rationale Domain
6: Improving outreach and collaboration with families and community.
Collaborative
Concept: We would partner is this project to reach our extremely diverse
populations and to take advantage of shared knowledge and expertise to develop
the concept in other communities through-out the state.
Measurable Impact:
·
Number of students per grade level
·
Number of books distributed
·
Number of families attending
·
The community contribution support
·
The availability of financial data supplied by
the community compared to that which is state funded.
What do we hope to achieve?
·
Increased family involvement
·
Develop art and literacy connections
·
Increased community connections
·
Increased support for reading in the community
How is this tied to
the arts?
This project uses art as a tool for building literacy. It
would encompass the stretch and explore habit of mind by playfully exploring
relationships between literature and representative art. It would also create
opportunities for children to learn to attend to visual representations more
closely than normally expected.
