  • 1.  Indiana Teachers Needed for Standards Review

    Posted 10-06-2016 14:57

    Fellow Indiana Teachers,

    The Indiana DOE is looking to update standards for the fine arts.  They are looking for people to help with reviewing our current standards as well as those from outside the state to make recommendations for updating the standards.  If you are interested, contact Celya Glowacki at cglowacki@doe.in.gov.

    I already responded to indicate my interest, and the woman in charge said that she was falling short on theatre teachers, and is struggling to contact dance teachers.  I told her that I don't know many schools that offer dance as a curricular course, but maybe some of you out there can spread the word to your dance teachers.

    Hope to see some of you on the committee!

    I just said outloud when reading this, "Egads, I would love to do this."  Followed by, "I wonder how much time it is taking?"  

    Before I respond, I'd love to know if they have given a schedule/timeframe?

    Hi all, just wanted to jump in really quick here-I noticed a couple similar issues this week with truncated emails. I fixed it, so you should be able to see them now. If it ever comes up again, shoot me an email and I'll check it out. Thanks!

    I just helped the Illinois group go through the stadards process. I was a writer with the theatre group for the National Core Arts Standards. If you want to chat about how our process went and you are adapting or adopting the national standards I would love to help if there is any need.
