Willow Elementary

We’re reeling from our packed day of @artsk12's #ProfessionalLearning at @crystalbridges. Teachers were tasked with building #sculptures using #Twisteez wire inspired by #Chihuly, #Asawa, #Butterfield, & #Bourgeois works. Each piece’s use of colors and shapes is simply exquisite!

Happy #MusicInOurSchoolsMonth AND #TeachMusicWeek! “Children must receive musical instruction as naturally as food, and with as much pleasure as they derive from a baseball game. And this must happen from the beginning of their school lives.” Leonard Bernstein, 1977

The #ArtfulLearning team's had the pleasure of working with @burrellartsk12 this week as they’ve learned several Arts-Based Skills & Strategies that heavily incorporate elements of #dance, #visualarts, #music, & #theatre—while linking them to the #Colorado standards. Take a look!

#ArtfulLearning's currently in the midst of training a new #DualLanguage school in #NapaValley called #UnidosMiddleSchool! We're in awe of the #passion & #openness that Napa’s educators have demonstrated over the past few days & we can't wait to see how the remaining days unfold!

Happy Thursday! We're looking forward to going on the road next week to share the #ArtfulLearning model with new schools across the country. Please enjoy this wonderful example of a Unit of Study described by a bright, young student. We think his explanation was quite thorough!

Take a look at this clip from our #documentary, #HowDidYouLearnToday. It includes #Napa County's #Teacher of the Year and @willowmagnet's principal describing how the #ArtfulLearning model encourages students to have an #emotional #experience when they’re #learning something new!

Thank you @NapaRegister for the great article on Napa County Teacher of the Year 2022 Rebecca Lacau! @NVUSD @willowmagnet. #tracking-source=home-top-story" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">napavalleyregister.com/news/local/reb…

@artfullearning @willowmagnet ♥️♥️

Leonard Bernstein’s son, Alexander, will be in a Q&A session following the FREE screening of #HowDidYouLearnToday at the @elfilmfestival this Sun, 11/14 at 12:30 PM ET. Alexander is the President of @ArtfulLearning & the model was inspired by his father’s passion for #education.

We're very excited to announce that our documentary-short #HowDidYouLearnToday?” will be presented at the @elfilmfestival! We will be showcasing the film on Sunday, November 14th at 12:30 PM ET at Studio C. You will not want to miss it! More to come. #ArtfulLearning #documentary

Principal Pam Perkins at @willowmagnet describes how the revolutionary #ArtfulLearning model provides academic rigor to high-achieving students. Since many of the units are inquiry-based, students critically think & make deep connections across the pieces & subjects they study.

How can we transform education to prepare students for the future job market in which the jobs of the past will no longer exist and there will be many jobs that don’t exist now? #documentary #artsed #edchat #edutwitter #education #artfullearningschools youtu.be/yj26EQdO-zQ
