Project Overview

Project outline: For this project, you’re going to create a 15 minute video-recorded PD session on one of these 5 topics related to the arts integration implementation framework: strategies, standards alignment, lesson delivery, assessment or extension. Each cohort group has a google signup sheet link below with each of these categories listed.

In each signup sheet, there are only 10 slots available for each of the 5 topics. Once a topic is full, that is no longer available to use to create a PD session. Your session will be shared in our free 3-day winter online arts integration and STEAM summit. This is taking the place of our winter online conference and we’re making it free so that as many people as possible can watch and learn from all of you.

This is an outstanding opportunity for you to get in front of administrators, other teachers and industry leaders as an arts integration specialist. We’ll also be using this as a way to kick off our next certification enrollment period so people have a chance to see what you learn in this program and have people like you to look up to and aspire to become. This is meant to be a positive learning experience for you and a way to stretch yourself and show all that you’ve learned in this program so far.

YOU MUST INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:

• Add the link to your finished video recorded session next to your name in the Summit Signup Sheet
• Upload your one-page handout to your coach’s folder.
• BOTH the video and the handout must be submitted by February 13, 2019.

* Keep it fun, actionable, upbeat and fast-paced. Online sessions can be difficult because people are behind a screen. Condense your content to 15 minutes with the most important pieces and stay excited!

* Do not lecture or use slides with lots of text. People want to see what you’re talking about, whether that’s “action shots” via video or through examples of student products. * Dress professionally. Yes, this is an online summit and can feel a bit more laid back. But please remember that this is a professional event, so if you are on screen be sure to “dress for success”.

All presentations are prerecorded for your convenience. Please ensure that your video files are either .mp4 or .mov files. Please export your videos with at least 780p resolution. You can upload these to a service such as Dropbox, Google Drive or similar and put the link next to your session in the Google Sign Up Sheet. Make sure that your link is public or unlisted and not marked “private”. We will take care of uploading the videos to the summit platform and any formatting.

You can use any device that has a video camera, like your phone, camera, or computer webcam. If you want to edit your video to have examples of student work, or different camera angles, we would recommend using simple software like iMovie or Windows Movie Maker that come free on most computers. However, remember that your finished upload must be one video – not separate clips.

I’ve included a sample session in the tabs area. Be sure to watch that as a model of what we’re looking for. Also, if you haven’t already done so, be sure to view lessons 4 and 5 in this sprint for information specific to this project.
