21st Century SkillsStudents have to acquire so-called “habits of mind” that will enable them to develop the skills of creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving. In addition, they must be able to communicate effectively, collaborate with people different from themselves, exercise initiative, and be self-directed.

Taylor Arts Integration as seen in this project humanizes the goals, vision and implementation of 21st Century Learning http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2011/02/02/19taylor_ep.h30.html |
TPACKIn applying the TPACK framework to arts education arts teachers have a host of new technologies available to them (Tablets, Web 2.0 tools, Digital Media Technologies, Interactive Whiteboards, Document Cameras). These technologies can best be used to enhance a teacher’s current pedagogical practices to help bring traditional art forms and creation techniques into the 21st century. The technologies, in conjunction with sound pedagogical practice help to reinforce traditional arts content with a well thought out plan for technology integration using the TPACK analysis and framework.

VAPA: Visual and Performing Arts. Study in and through the arts employs a form of thinking and a way of knowing based on human judgment, invention, and imagination. Arts education offers students the opportunity to envision, set goals, determine a method to reach a goal and try it out, identify alternatives, evaluate, revise, solve problems, imagine, work collaboratively, and apply self-discipline. As they study and create in the arts, students use the potential of the human mind to its full and unique capacity. (CDE.GOV)
