Making a clear mission statement: (1) describe the students, (2) the focus for
the school, and (3) the schools unique purpose. The mission is an umbrella
statement that acts as a clarifier and a compass. It focuses and directs work.
A creative and sincere mission statement can motivate and inspire teachers
and students, causing them to feel that their work is significant and
contributes to the future. Almost like an epitaph, an artful statement often
capsulizes how the school wants to be remembered.
Arts-based communication, pre-dating verbal and written, is evidence that
the arts were our first communication forms. The arts endure because words
are not up capturing the wide range of human thinking. Greater
communication capacities develop as students grow language arts along with
arts abilities; thus, they have more ways to understand, respond to, and
express ideas and feelings.
AI aims for full multifaceted, multimodal literacy matched to the outside
world.
Arts communication expands our ways to comprehend/understand and
express/represent learning from all curricular areas and life.
Constructivists believe students should make, not merely get, meaning.
Understanding cannot just be found or located, as in finding the main idea.
Meaning is created through inquiry process, using the personal filters of prior
knowledge and background experiences. Humans are predisposed to make
sense.
