About Us and the New York State Learning Standards
Our company is well known for combining the NYS Learning Standards in our programming for students: for example -
2 and 5, Math, Science and Technology; Theatre Arts Standards 1, 2 and 3; English Language Arts 1 through 4; and Career Development Skills Standard 2 (Integrated Learning).
The Company is also known for working with teachers and school administrators, both to address the four Arts standards and to include the other State Learning Standards such as English Language Arts, Career Development Skills, Social Studies, and Technology.
InCollaboration holds contracts with the New York City Board of Education to provide Professional Staff Development incorporating New York State’s Learning Standards in both its workshops and long-term development programs.
The Company also incorporates the NYS Learning Standards into all of its Services to Students covered under Board of Education Listing Applications and Requirements Contracts as a matter of course.
All long-term Professional Development programs have sessions that specifically deal with the application of the New York State Learning Standards in the classroom and the topics:
What is “good” aINCork and how do we recognize and apply it in the classroom? and, with respect to the arts standards,
What do we want our students to learn, to discover, and to know - and how do we know if they have?
Two additional topics are almost always discussed in teaching the arts when special education or at-risk students are involved:
How do we change behavior? and
How can the arts help to improve behavior?
The Company provides all of its teaching artists with specific training in New York State’s Learning Standards; instructs them in how to design residencies and create lesson plans; and shows them how to incorporate the Learning Standards when creating such residencies.
