Narrative description of evidence for Program review/A/H

Under curriculum demonstrator 1, there were several artifacts addressing targeted standards. There were samples of IEP’s, ILP’s, and some SBDM minutes and Agendas mentioning the program review. There were samples of lessons and assessments from a guest artist. There were also photos of a jazz band concert that all students had access to. Some student work and a variety of opportunities for local, state, and national arts’ contests are also included.

Recommendations for Improvement:

Include the following: GSSP, Master Schedule, copies of ILP’s of students who have identified an arts area as a career interest, actual SBDM Policies that support Arts curriculum; copy of his own teaching schedule, could also include POS for A/H for K-6. Many of these documents (policies, curriculum maps, schedules, etc. should be electronic and should not require scanning). All artifacts must include: targeted standard, grade level and class of origin, brief description of what assignment was for.

Committee scored this indicator a 1: Evidence is general, and missing certain elements. Artifacts lacking in several areas. Evidence of collaboration is lacking.
