Fine Arts Learning Communities!
Purpose: Building on this year’s Fine Arts Curriculum Community success, we are excited to share our expanded community offerings for the 2023-2024 school year. These targeted communities will provide Fine Arts teachers the ability to collaborate with other like professionals (ie, middle school band, high school media arts, musical theater director) from across the region to take part in collaborative conversation, learning, sharing, and creation. These communities will provide focused support to those teachers that are often “on an island” and provide them with collaborative learning opportunities that they wouldn’t otherwise have. Dates: Communities will meet 3 times a year. Teachers will have the ability to sign up for just one session or all three. We design the communities to be flexible as we know the life of a Fine Arts educator and changes that happen during the different seasons of the year. Community dates will take place late September-October, January-February, April-Beginning of May. As we wait for state testing and school district calendars to come out, we will provide final dates by the end of this year.
Communities will be:
- Fine Arts Curriculum Community
- Elementary Art Community
- Middle School Art Community
- Media Arts Community
- 2D Arts Community
- 3D Arts Community
- Theater Arts Community
- Developing Instrumental Community (grades 4-8)
- Secondary Instrumental Community (grades 9-12)
- General Music (grades K-6)
- Secondary General Music (grades 7-12)
- Developing Choral Community (grades 5-8)
- Secondary Choral Community (grades 9-12)
- Music Literacy Community
IAAP Applications
I am reaching out and let you know that Individual Arts Assessment Pathway (IAAP) applications are now available on the NYSED Business Portal. These applications will be open until August 1, 2023, and like the Seal of civic readiness, there is also an optional application for any BOCES interested in offering the pathway. Applications are delegated to Superintendents, who in turn, can delegate the application to appropriate staff to complete. I am hosting a series of short drop-in meetings for folks who have any questions about the application process. I’ve listed the dates, times, and zoom links below. Additionally, all our implementation guides and professional development modules have been updated with information on the new streamlined application process and include additional description of the high school performance indicators in the Arts Learning Standard. Please let me know if you have any questions. Approved pilot schools do not need to reapply. More information is forthcoming, but please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions in the meantime.

Offerings from our Other BOCES Collaboratives
TST Region - Emily Wemmer and Teresa Heathermann
PD Day is March 17. We are planning a Social Justice and Artistic Expression morning workshop, which will include a virtual panel of artists and educators. If you have people interested in that but unable to make the trip out here, we could arrange for them to at least join that virtual piece. In the afternoon, we will have a collaborative work session for teachers to create lessons based on the morning's information. Also, David Seligman from NYSED will be here in person to discuss the IAAP pathway I don't know that there will be a virtual option for that, but anyone is welcome to join in-person!
OCM Region - Doreen Bergman and Allison Comes
Thanks to you!
