UARTS COURSES PROVIDE PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS FOR INTEGRATION INTO MY TEACHING. THEY PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES TO NETWORK WITH PEERS TO KEEP MY PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT GROWING. — KEN KAY, PIE INSTRUCTOR EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY INSTRUCTOR AT THE UNIVERSITY OF THE ARTS

Core requirement for MEd in Educational Technology Many current studies on the use of technology in elementary and secondary schools conclude that its appropriate use yields higher results in student achievement and engagement.

Additionally, the thoughtful use of technology in the classroom is tied to decreased exhibition of inappropriate behaviors, increased confidence and lowered student absenteeism among at-risk populations. However, an understanding of the rationale for and the process of integrating technology with regular content area instruction is not widely seen throughout all K-12 schools in the United States.

Differentiated Instruction Using Educational Technology is a course that prepares educators to use technology in the classroom to reach all types of learners. Teachers learn to identify which educational technology tools, resources and applications will work best for their specific population and how technology can help them increase the engagement and achievement of all types of students.

The Flipped Classroom — Shedding Light on the Model + Its Options for Implementation

10

The flipped classroom model is a studentcentered approach to learning. In this blended learning approach, in-class time is “re-purposed” for inquiry, application and assessment in order to better meet the needs of the individual learners. The framework goes beyond transferring lectures to videos and instead provides opportunities for differentiated instruction, student interaction and project-based learning. This course explores the advantages and disadvantages of the flipped classroom and the various options for implementing the process, which can range from a small number of flipped classes a year to a complete transition to the flipped classroom model. Numerous free resources will be introduced including interactive videos and slide shows, screen casting, online debates, blogging, collaborative tools and useful assessment applications that provide ongoing student feedback.

Museum Resources PMA Featured Exhibition — Still Life, Landscape and Portraiture — Teacher Resources for the Classroom Our museum-based courses help teachers in all subject areas learn how to use art and source material to engage students in learning across the curriculum.

This course will draw upon the time-honored, traditional themes of still life, landscape and portraiture and their origins within the diverse history of art. The exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, presents a formidable, comprehensive survey of American still life in three decades and will provide much of the course study. Titled Audubon to Warhol: The Art of American Still Life, this exhibit will feature 120 oil paintings, watercolors and works in other media representing the finest accomplishments in the still life genre from its beginnings in the early 1800s and travel to the Pop Art era of the 1960s. Iconic artists such as Georgia O’Keefe, Andy Warhol, Horace Pippin, Charles Sheeler, Charles Demuth, Arthur B. Carles as well as Joseph Stella and Roy Lichtenstein will be regarded for their contributions to their respective eras. In addition, the course will consider still life, as well as landscape and portraiture, to reflect on interpretations of American identity, history and culture throughout time. Participants will learn the differences, along with similarities, of the variations on these traditional themes — along with their relationship to European and other important world influences. Visits include the Barnes Foundation, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and other relevant sites. Course content is cross-curricular applicable to all grade levels and subjects; course includes lectures and demonstrations to provide context and understanding.

Teaching with Primary Sources

FREE WORKSHOPS AVAILABLE!

SEEING THE PAST CLEARLY REVEALS NEW POSSIBILITIES. The Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) program at the University of the Arts encourages teachers to become detectives — seeking out images, artifacts, music, playbills and more to bring subjects to life in the classroom. By analyzing primary sources from the Library of Congress and interacting with cultural organizations and practicing artists, we provide authentic experiences like no other!

We offer free on-site workshops at local schools to introduce the TPS-UARTS program! All free workshops include hands-on activities, refreshments, parking and a flash drive of classroom resources for each participant, free of charge. Our in-service day programs are limited and advance scheduling is required. Email pie@uarts.edu or complete an online request at tps.uarts.edu/in-service-days.

Each summer we offer week-long TPS courses available for graduate credit featuring a variety of arts-based topics. These classes feature performances, behind-the-scenes tours and guest speakers to engage teachers in cross-disciplinary lessons that will inspire students.

Educational Practices Creating Multicultural Environments in the Classroom

Introduction to Danielson’s Professional Framework for Teaching

This course assists K-12 educators in recognizing the importance of affirming the cultural identities of students and helping them to respect cultural differences in others.

Participants develop resources, tools and methods to increase cultural awareness in the classroom across the curriculum. Activities encourage students to understand and honor diversity, both in their schools and in the larger community. This course focuses on methods to weave tolerance and understanding into existing curricular units and lesson plans.

The Framework for Teaching is a researchbased set of components of instruction, aligned to the Interstate Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (INTASC) standards. This conceptual model, developed by Charlotte Danielson, is grounded in a constructivist view of learning and teaching, which advocates that learning occurs as learners are actively involved in a process of meaning and knowledge construction as opposed to passively receiving information. The Framework is clustered into four domains of teaching responsibility. These domains include Planning and Preparation, Classroom Environment, Instruction and Professional Responsibilities. This course is designed to assist the participants in understanding how Framework for Teaching can enhance professional practice by understanding the domains of teaching responsibility, promoting professional learning, using the framework to enhance self-directed learning and understanding how to use these tools to ensure consistency in exemplary teaching practice.

Participants will also evaluate the latest research, examine case studies and become familiar with instruments to support teacher evaluation and professional learning.

Inclusion

This course provides strategies for managing individual student and group behavior in the classroom. Develop a framework for understanding why children behave as they do in a classroom setting. Major concepts such as the drive to belong, private logic, birth order, goals of misbehavior, logical consequences, reflective listening, questioning skills and class meetings are explored. Examine types of patterns in students’ behaviors: attention getting, power struggles, revenge actions, and students who appear to be academically disabled but are not. Additionally, consider the links between the way adults respond to misbehaving children and how that response either feeds, extinguishes or has no effect on the target behavior. This course is a study of understanding for an inclusive classroom and examining adult response patterns to children’s misbehavior. Techniques include discussion, lecture, self-reflection and case study evaluation of real life classroom situations. Practical application for K-12 teachers in all subject areas.

Understanding + Supporting the IEP + 504 Plan This course is designed to enhance instructional skills as they relate to supporting students with special needs. IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) was originally enacted in 1975 to ensure that children with disabilities have the opportunity to receive a free appropriate public education. Before there was IDEA, there was the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability.

Section 504 of this Act continues to play an important role in education. Special education can be a complex road of acronyms, legalese and specialized paperwork. Participants in this course will learn to navigate the special education process. This course is structured to present the learner with the essential knowledge base and accompanying skills needed to successfully teach school students who have special needs, which are addressed through special education or accommodation plans. Graduate students will study the history, programs and legislation as they relate to school and its daily operation. Case studies and practical application of program specifications will be utilized in the study of this course.

Literacy Foundations of Literacy in the Classroom

Grant Writing

Literacy is the foundation for student achievement regardless of the subject matter.

This course provides K-8 educators with tools and strategies needed to teach the foundational skills of reading, writing, speaking, listening and language using best instructional practices, differentiated instruction and formative/ substantive assessment. Each participant contributes to the group’s learning by researching teaching skills in one of the five foundational areas and presenting that research to the class. Participants then practice teaching skills from each foundational area in both small group and individual mock scenarios and develop lesson plans and classroom design models that enhance instruction and learning.

Learn the fundamentals of writing a successful grant proposal. Begin the process by identifying funding sources from local, state and federal grants, as well as alternative funding sources like small agencies, organizations and institutions. Develop letters of inquiry for the funding of classroom materials, technology, and community service awards, outlets for student projects, servicelearning projects and scholarships. Participants are assisted in website research and application completion procedures for all grades and program needs.
