The Community School for the Arts’ newest professional
development course for teachers, TechArts, concluded on June 15,
2007. The focus of the five-day class was on 21st Century
Learning for teachers to enhance their skills in technology
applications and engage in developing strategies to engage in
incorporating arts into their daily lesson plans. One of the
participants in the class, a middle school teacher, summed up
the week:
The class has given me concrete examples of authentic
learning experiences, sources for assistance with this in
lesson development and sparked ideas that I am anxious to
present to students. TechArts is a model for the authentic
learning experience, putting the concept into practice by
requiring authentic tasks to complete in class assignments.
This is much more enjoyable, motivating and will insure
greater retention. Using Bruner’s Modes of Learning theory,
we heard it, we saw it and we did it.
