Teacher- student- parent collaboration is very critical to the over-all developement of a well-rounded students. Because I believe in that, I decided to share a sample of what every teacher can do to achieve that goal. Here is my wiki website that I use to collaborate with my Ceramics 3H students. The ceramics students in the level 3 Honors class are very proud of their many accomplishments working with clay and other other found materials. Their work is on display frequently for all to see around the school. Students create portfolios of their finished pieces which are for display and college entrance. Twice a year students present their work in PowerPoint presentations to their peers for critique and assessment. This Wiki enables all students and myself to collaborate and share ideas between each other. Also they will find copies of the handouts that they can view online from home when absent. The students are able to post pictures at any time and this transparency allows for communication between students, teacher, and parents. Parents are always informed on the current projects and are able to view their children's work. This transparency allows for authentic assessment that is understood by all. Generally, all students are seniors with an interest in honing their skills in the arts. This course is U.C. approved for college credit and is very popular with students at my school. Students graduate from high school all continuing onto four - year college institutions and are either art majors or minors. They declare this emphasis of study because of the positive experience they had throughout their years in ceramics. In conjunction with the curriculum, students have a text and visit museums to supplement the instruction. Instruction uses various modalities to accommodate all learners. Welcome into my wiki world! |
