Meeting with Arts Integration Working Group - 2/13/12

Today Travis and I met with the Arts Integration Working Group at Peck School. The group is a collaboration between the Enchanted Circle Theater and teachers at Peck. They are hoping to get the arts into as much of the curriculum as possible and are hoping to expand their ideas to as many schools as possible. We discussed the possibility of a wiki to store their various lesson plans and other resources. The Arts Integration group likes the idea of a wiki so we are going to proceed with that plan. They are going to work on compiling the materials for us to upload to the site by the beginning of March. In the meantime, they asked us if we would create a template that they could use for the lesson plans. It should have the headings below:

• Learning Objectives
• Materials
• Room Setup
• Instructions with time expectations
• Adaptations and Extensions
• Resources
• Attachments and Media

The site should be organized by grade (K-8) then subject (ELA, Math, Science, Social Studies) then theme (immigration, magnets, etc...) which will be added as we go.

We discussed who would have privileges to update the site and determined that it would be best if the Enchanted Circle Theater group has control over the site including hosting and updating.

The last thing we discussed was a list of steps that we need to take to complete the project and came up with 5.

1. Set up account
2. Create template
3. Receive materials from group
4. Upload materials
5. Create documentation and teach group how to maintain site
