Goal(s)

The goal of this project is the goal of every English Language Arts classroom: engagement. As described in in the Playhouse proposal, "ThinkTheatre pairs core curriculum with performing arts education. By introducing theatre-based pedagogy, our professional teaching artists engage students’ creativity, encourage teamwork, and boost self-confidence while enhancing their understanding of curriculum content. "

A plethora of FL standards are addressed via this residency. Found on FLDOE website, the following five points are labeled as "Big Ideas" in arts education:

 Critical Thinking and Reflection: Critical and creative thinking, self-expression and communication with others
are central to the arts.
 Historical and Global Connections: Through dance, music, theatre and visual arts, students learn that beginners,
amateurs and professionals benefit from working to improve and maintain skills over time.
 Innovations, Technology and the Future: Works in dance, music, theatre and visual arts are organized by elements and principles that guide creators, interpreters and responders.
 Organizational Structure: Experiences in the arts foster understanding, acceptance and enrichment among
individuals, groups and cultures from around the world and across time.
 Skills, Techniques and Processes: Experiences in the arts foster understanding, acceptance and enrichment among individuals, groups and cultures from around the world and across time.

Project Description

This project will be for my three 8th Grade classes and will entail a 4-Session Residency

The Gulfshore Playhouse Education Team will lead three 4-day residencies for three groups of 8th grade students at Marco Island Charter Middle school. This residency includes a day of professional development with the classroom teacher.

 

 

Expected Outcomes

Again, from Gulfshore Playhouse's proposal, "the partnership between Gulfshore Playhouse and Marco Island Charter Middle School holds the potential to make a profound and lasting impact on the lives of students. By leveraging our strengths in social, emotional, and cognitive learning through theatre arts, we can empower
students to explore their aspirations and abilities. We are excited about the possibilities this collaboration offers and welcome further discussions to shape and implement this partnership for the betterment of our community."  

 

Purpose of Funding

Our funding request is for the full $2,000 available for a classroom grant which will cover two classes and half of the third class; we will supplement the remaining amount by fundraising for the balance of $475.
