Scope of Services for City of Miami Beach October 1, 2013 — September 30, 2014 About Arts for Learning: As Miami-Dade County's leading organization solely dedicated to advancing teaching and learning through the arts, Arts for Learning (A4L) works diligently to ensure that the arts are central to the life of every child. By connecting professional visual and performing artists to children in schools, preschools, and after-school and summer programs, children have the opportunity to experience and understand an art form, create a work of art, and connect that art to other areas of learning. A4L's comprehensive services include arts-integrated instruction, student studio programs, community art classes, internships in the arts, mentoring, and teacher and artist professional development. A4L is a national affiliate of the Wolf Trap Institute for Early Learning and the Young Audiences Arts for Learning network. Proposed Scope of Work: Arts for Learning respectfully requests $105,000 to provide in-depth visual and performing arts programs at City of Miami Beach schools, preschools, and parks to serve 1,470 of children and youth. After-School Programming Arts for Learning will provide 28 after-school courses across five Miami Beach locations including Biscayne Elementary School, Flamingo Park, North Beach Elementary, Scott Rakow Youth Center and South Pointe Elementary School. Throughout the school year at each after-school location, professional teaching artists will conduct semester-long residencies. These residencies or "courses" are defined as a 1-hour session per week for a unique group of up to 25 students over a period of 12-16 weeks within the fall or spring semester. Through the after-school programming, A4L will serve 270 students. Site No. of Students Biscayne Elementary 100 Flamingo Park 50 North Beach Elementary 50 Scott Rakow Youth Center (at the Bass 20 Museum of Art South Point Elementary 50 During the 2013-2014 year, A4L is proud to share that students at select sites will have the opportunity to participate in the National Water Dance project (www.nationalwaterdance.org). National Water Dance creates an opportunity for young artists across the country to experience the power of art and performance as a vehicle for social change by collaborating on the formation of a nationwide movement choir. The goal is to initiate a national "water ethic" that can inform and inspire both participants and audience members to take responsibility for conserving and protecting the water that they use and enjoy. All participants will perform simultaneously across the nation on April 12, 2014. School Programming Arts for Learning will partner with 6th, 7th, and 8th grade classrooms at Fienberg Fisher K-8 Center and Nautilus Middle School to help students master higher order thinking skills and 10 required academic content through the integration of theatre, dance, music and the visual arts. A4L's master teaching artists will partner with classroom teachers to deliver arts-based lessons through an extended residency to students that connect to their core academic learning goals while also providing professional development and coaching for teachers on effective arts-integration strategies. A4L's school program integrates beautifully with International Baccalaureate (IB) schools. In fact, Fienberg Fisher K-8 Center built upon its work with A4L to secure its IB designation. A4L will serve 10 classrooms across the two schools and reach 250 students. Preschool Programming Arts for Learning's preschool offering consists of visual and performing arts residencies conducted by master teaching artists who embed coaching, modeling and in-class teacher professional development into a 16-session residency structure. The efficiency of this approach is that it concurrently combines in-depth training for early childhood teachers with high quality arts-based learning activities for students. The residency and coaching structure is as follows: • Planning Session (Session 1): The teacher and the artist identify residency goals/objectives. • Observation Session (Session 2): The artist becomes acquainted with students and the classroom. • Classroom Sessions Led by the Teaching Artist (Sessions 3-11): Teaching artist leads eight 45-minute sessions. The classroom teacher participates in the sessions and in 15-minute post-session debriefings. • Planning Meetings (Sessions 12 and 14): The teaching artist and classroom teacher develop lessons together. For these lessons, the teacher will take the lead in the delivery of arts-based strategies. • Sessions Led by the Classroom Teacher (Sessions 13 and 15): Classroom teacher leads two 45-minute sessions that are followed by a 15-minute debrief discussion with the artist. • Closing Session (Session 16): During this session, the teaching artist has the opportunity to end the residency and to say "goodbye" to the students and determine follow u p needs with the teacher. A4L will work with up to 5 preschools to serve 10 classrooms serving students ages 3-5 years old. In total, A4L will reach 150 preschool students. Performances Though A4L's national affiliate network, A4L will present American Place Theatre's Literature to Life Program's adaptation of Sandra Cisneros's The House on Mango Street. This Literature to Life original features 45 minutes of verbatim performance from the novel. Incorporating the full text from eight of the book's poetic vignettes including Red Clowns and A House of My Own, the actress, who is a Cuban-American from Miami, portrays the book's heroine Esperanza in an energetic performance. She leads the students through a unique theatrical event in which audience members are invited on stage to interact with the text and leave feeling not only connected to the characters but to each other. The performance will include a pre and post show discussion with the students. A4L will present this performance to middle school students at Fienberg Fisher K-8 and Nautilus Middle School to reach 500 students. The performance is scheduled for November 2013. In addition, an A4L master teaching artist ensemble will perform for up to 300 students in the spring. 11 Surveys A41-will collect evaluation forms from parents, teachers and site staff and provide a complete set of copies to the City no less than thirty(30)days prior to the expiration of the initial term.
