Professional Development Course Author:

In the Fall of 2017, SEADAE contracted me as a Subject Matter Expert in Media Arts.  They are looking for ways to provide professional development for teachers using the national media arts standards in the classroom.  I was asked to develop two courses for educators. Completion is worth college credit.  I put about 90 hours of work into writing these courses.  I'm proud of the work I'm doing, and I'm excited to work with State Agency Directors from Kansas (Joyce Huser) and New Hampshire (Marcia McCaffery, as well as Project Manager Cory Wilkerson as we form a team to finalize the courses in the editing phase.

The National Media Arts Standards and Integration into Curriculum

I have made it a goal to implement the media arts standards in our curriculum at Cumberland Valley. As such, I have identified and written Priority Standards into the curriculum of our digital modeling program.  Here are the CV priority standards from my lesson plans: 

Artistic Processes	Anchor Standards	Essential Questions
Creating	MA:Cr3	What is required to produce a media artwork that conveys purpose, meaning, and artistic quality?
Creating	MA:Cr3	How do media artists improve/ refine their work?
Producing	MA:Pr5	What skills are required for creating effective media artworks and how are they improved?
Producing	MA:Pr5	How are creativity and innovation developed within and through media arts productions?
Producing	MA:Pr5	How do media artists use various tools and techniques?
Producing	MA:Pr6	How does time, place, audience, and context affect presenting or performing choices for media artworks?
Producing	MA:Pr6	How can presenting or sharing media artworks in a public format help a media artist learn and grow?
Responding	MA:Re9	How and why do media artists value and judge media artworks?
Responding	MA:Re9	When and how should we evaluate and critique media artworks to improve them?
Connecting	MA:Cn10	How do we relate knowledge and experiences to understanding and making media artworks?
Connecting	MA:Cn10	How do we learn about and create meaning through producing media artworks?
Connecting	MA:Cn11	How does media arts relate to its various contexts, purposes, and values?

I've been color coding my lesson plans to develop a way to visually track coverage of the artistic processes. I've also included the priority standards in my lesson plans.
