I can't believe it. Someone has hacked the Yahoo list groups and is posting
this. How they are bypassing the moderation I'll never know. Has the TAB group
received anything like this? Whatever this is, don't click on any links please.
It might explain why I've rejected many posts today of the same thing. I will
get in touch with Yahoo about this one. This is pretty serious.

Group members,

I found out how the post was distributed without me approving it. Apparently it
was entered in as an event in the group calendar and the event then is
automatically posted to the group. I have changed the settings so that all
calendar events have to be entered by the moderator. If you want something on
the group calendar, simply e-mail me with your event and I will post it for you.

I have plugged a few links while in the settings. I found out that anyone could
post any image in the photos section without moderation too. Sorry for the
problems.

I am leaving the event in the calendar because it seems it is a legitimate art
event sponsored by the National Gallery. It just scared me that this appeared in
the group without me approving it - and appearing as if I posted it.

Ken

Thanks for asking first. The links section of the list group has been left alone
in the settings. This is because there are no moderation settings for the
"Links" menu other than to forbid members from posting links. Hopefully in the
future Yahoo will let me approve links before they are posted. If a spam is
posted there I will turn off that feature. So far spammers haven't posted links
there - however, I wouldn't doubt that they figure that one out too.

I'm a 4th year teacher working towards tenure in the NYC DOE. I have
reviewed the guidelines for tenure
here:http://www.uft.org/files/attachments/tenure-framework-2010-11.pdf
and here:
http://www.cfn204.com/storage/dropbox/TeacherTenureOverviewforPrincipals201112FI\
NAL.pdf

I haven't yet found anyone who has created a tenure binder as a visual
art teacher and am looking for advice on structure and ways to show
"data".

The three categories that I am required to supply data and information for are:

1. Multiple sources of evidence showing that virtually all students
(including special populations*) achieve substantial gains on NYS
standards.

2. Multiple sources of evidence indicating practice at the highest
level based on a framework** or set of expectations for:
   � Instructional Planning
   � Classroom Delivery & Student Assessment
   � Commitment to Improving Instructional Practice

3. Multiple sources of evidence of professional contributions at the
highest level:
   � Contributions to the school and community
   � Professionalism

I teach middle school visual art to both the whole population 6-8th
grade in gen art and to advanced classes in 7th and 8th grade. If you
can supply me with any guidance or link me to any resources, I'd
reallllly, really appreciate it. What we do in the art room is often
very different from what is done in the "core" classes and the NYCDOE
has yet to acknowledge this or give any guidance for specialists.

Thank you in advance!
Angela

thank you very much!!

Justa few more quotes to share.....

"The spectacle of the sky overwhelms me. I'm overwhelmed when I see, in an
immense sky, the crescent of the moon or the sun."
-Miro

"The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their
inward significance."
-Aristotle

"The painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through."

Hi David, I am not sure if this would work with the string you have, but you may
want to use it for animal fiber art.  I have seen this done with yarn, or rope
(and both of my boys made turtles with rolled and coiled ROPE, which are pieces
that I still treasure dearly)

but depending on the age and objective, you may
want to try pulled string art, string painting, bracelet braiding,

be able to use the string for math in art with STRING ART:

"Transfer the patterns to wood, hammer nails (or tacks) into the dots, and wrap
string or thread from nail to nail to make your designs..."

Angela,
I am not sure if this is what you are looking for, but  I have two ideas that
may be helpful - and both can provide a paper trail to help with the first two
categories in your list.

In Virginia, we have Standards for each grade
http://www.doe.virginia.gov/testing/sol/standards_docs/fine_arts/visual_arts/com\
plete/visualartsk-12.pdf

You may want to keep a "Standards data Log.

Mine was called an SOL log and I had the standards printed out for each grade,
which in VA the list is very itemized for each grade - whereas I think that NYS
has 4 standards with 16 generalized items for all grades - and so you may have
to customize it a bit more.

I kept the SOL log on my desk - and right after the class would leave (or later
in the week), I would write in what standards were met (or targeted that week),
the lesson title, what EOA or POD we targeted, and misc tidbits - like the
masterpiece,  what other stuff was discussed, what technique was covered, or if
this particular class had a passionate area of interest (like one fifth grade
class was flipping out over polymer clay and so we did it twice that year) or if
there was special areas to work on (like an older class had never had exposure
to a VP and so even though that was not their in their standard, I integrated it
into a later lesson - but wrote that down in the margin) o r if there was
something to remember about behavior or needs.

This gave me a nice data log (that was easy to maintain) and helped highlight
the meat behind what we did in art.

If you did this for category one, you could then leave more space for lesson
reflection and note how you adjusted for groups, special needs, or helped each
student "achieve those gains."

The second thing I did (which could help with category two) is I made a planning
outline for every class.  I created this planning outline during a semester when
I had less time to plan and this simple form allowed me to loosely plan ahead of
time - it then gave me a nice keepsake sheet that I could file for each class,
and became a resource for future teaching.

And here is a suggestion of what your sheet could include:

Date, Grade level, Class, Lesson Name (and theme)

List objectives and then write "The students will be able to . . . at the end of
this lesson"
List state standards (although I prefer to list the SOLs at the end of lesson
and then note what was done to target that standard). Also, sometimes I tell the
students, like say, "Believe it or not, one of the SOLs for your grade is to do
a preliminary sketch, and here is why it has value...."

Note any theory behind your lesson.  To show why you are teaching this lesson,
what extra value does it have, this is important for a tenure portfolio

Brief Lesson overview:
Your intro, materials, procedures (time, set up, how kids work), and closure or
wrap up.

Wrap-up can be about 5 min - write down how the lesson was closed (or note that
students were so engrossed and time ran out and so next class, we must make sure
to go over things at the start and make sure we watch for running out of time -
and stuff like this adds credibility to your log - because in real life we have
a few classes that don't always get the ideal wrap-up (or closure) but this is
part of life. And so note if you missed wrap-up that day, or note if you flipped
off the lights and said "Okay, the bell is about to ring and before you go, i am
going to highlight three key things for you to take away from today's lesson,
first remember that mono means one and so a monochromatic....etc."  Or remind
kids that you are giving a take away sheet so they can remember this or that, or
remind them that in their art journals they wrote two art terms (state them) and
say that we will build on them later. Or remind of any quiz or homework given.

Grading Rubric.  For years I used a simple 100 point rubric ( I know many would
not agree with this, but it worked for us quite well) where every lesson had 4
major points that each student needed to cover (with 25 points each).  We may
have had more objectives, but those 4 things they knew I would be looking at int
heir work.   I still use it for certain sketch lessons and students have come to
expect that if they do 1, 2, 3, and 4 - they can get their 100 points.  It would
not work for every lesson, but allows for accountability.

In hindsight I see that my 100 point rubric was even more win-win because
students found it reasonable to do (which took the pressure off of assessment
and let them comfortably create - with objectives in mind) but it also gave me a
chance to give each student some personal attention as I would stroll the room
to see if the 4 things were achieved.

Leave a section for General review and notes:  Note strengths and weakness, and
what went well - what did not. Take the time to note individual needs - which
can also help with categories one and two because they want to know how you help
each student achieve.  For example, in one class I had a special needs boy who I
catered to.  In my notes, I wrote after the intro section to the class - went up
to "John" and gave him verbal instructions to make sure he was clear with steps
- and also wrote the steps on the board for all to be reminded of.

Again, this may not be what you need, but I know it still helps to share ideas.
~Yvette (in VA)

My name is
Sara Ann Scheid

I live in New Jersey.

I am looking for a full time art  teaching position.

My last art teaching position was at Jones Co. schools in North Carolina as an
Pre K-6th grade at four elementary schools. Wow what an experience! Till my
husband changed jobs and we moved to New Jersey
.
I am always a full student.

I am a member of Getty artteacherexchange. Look for my name there.
I have been in  art teacher round robins.

Judy Decker and Michal Austin know of me when I lived in Houston, Texas.

I like to share information and learn from others.

In my next message to art education I want to share this site for taking notes
and writing about  art.

http://pinterest.com/jburns1025/notes-and-writing-in-the-classroom
Do you want more information?

Here is something I found on a pinterest page. It's a super clever way to
un-wind the string as well!  I've done the circular design with elementary and
middle school students. With middle school students we used much longer mails
and then had them move up a tiny bit for each color of string they added to
their pegs. Then the design became deep. I really wish I had photos of them. We
did as a summer project at a camp and I didn't take photos for myself or boards.
They were quite beautiful.
  Done using the students own choice of words can prevent it from becoming too
crafty. If done as a math-geometrtic connection, it is a bit crafty, as
everyone's will look the nearly same, but darn if they don't all look good. lol 
The circle designs can be nailed by students as young as 8 without too much
assistance; For the The word designs, I would have the students be at least 11-
unless you can get a lot of helpers!  We used pine for a wood base in my camp
project, but I wonder if you couldn't use a doubled, glued foam core board as
the base, and then you could avoid the necessity of a hammer? If you try it out,
let me know how it works for you.
