Description of Network Partner: AnimAction has been effectively training youth to produce animation across
the globe. Our emphasis is two-fold as we think it’s as important to build systemically within schools. Therefore,
we also concentrate on training teachers to create lesson plans which connect to academic curriculum. Ultimately,
under the teachers’ guidance, teams of students will be able to meet the challenge of producing their own animated
school presentations.
Description of Arts Learning Plan: During a 6-8 week residency at each school our animation program teaches
the fundamentals of classical animation as students and teachers work collaboratively. AnimAction incorporates a
combination of media literacy, critical thinking skills, teamwork and fun, helping young students construct visual
connections with various subjects. “Open Court,” English Language Arts, English as a Second Language (ESL),
Arts, Communications, Science, Math, Health, and Social Studies all apply.
Instructional: 12 one-hour sessions with students and teachers (one average size class of approximately 36 students
and up to 4 teachers). All participants will gain expertise in creatively expressing themselves, applying artistic
processes, including manipulation of digital imagery in communicating messages. Students aesthetically value art
as they plan, develop, and produce animated products. Animation is an exciting area of arts instruction that requires
students to think clearly and work effectively in teams.
Performances/Exhibitions/Events: The final student-produced animated product is visual with limited or no
written language. This enabled all youth to work together and share in the pride of successfully completing a
project. A school-wide (or classroom) premiere screening is suggested where students will present their work and
receive meaningful recognition.
Professional Development for Teachers: Teachers will be included in every stage of the hands-on 12
instructional time sessions ensuring they experience and build the necessary skills-set. In addition, teachers receive
2 1-hour PD sessions to summarize the lesson plan and demonstrate how to work in stop-motion (“claymation”),
cut-out and pixilation animation.
Collaborative Planning Time: In this meeting we demonstrate how AnimAction’s process lends itself to the
teachers’ curricula: ELA/ESL, Math, Social Studies, Science, Health or other subjects. We then establish how best
to integrate with the classroom curriculum and develop the plan. Once this is fully satisfied we confirm the master
calendar.
Resources:. Each participant receives a DVD of all completed animations. Materials for 40 students to support the
teacher(s) during subsequent program use. PC/MAC Software, Unlimited Technical Support, Instructional DVD,
lesson plans, sound cues, free access to online curriculum and student contests.
Transportation: N/A. No offsite/field trip necessary.

Art Form: Interdisciplinary
Description of Partner: For 20 years Bluepalm interdisciplinary programs have used dance, theater, and visual arts to
encourage cross-disciplinary connections to learning in all subject areas. Schools find resonance in Bluepalm’s methods because
we address the central question of arts education - how can the arts help maximize student potential? The ‘art’ of Bluepalm is to
infuse classroom learning with the life-altering power of artistic experience. Our multi-arts method integrates a wide range of
learning and teaching styles. Our commitment to schools - 100% of our company is engaged in the delivery of services - and the
care that goes into our programs enables us to share long-term partnerships with sites district wide.
Description of Arts Learning Plan: During our 3-4 week residency we use dance, theater, and visual arts to build focus,
vocabulary, and standards-based connections to Open Court, Science, Math, and Social Sciences. All program components staff development, workshops, and live performance - are designed to encourage metacognitive skills. We train staff and
students to ‘think like an artist’ in the classroom in order to find pleasure and a meaningful, lifelong relationship to learning
based on one's experiences, knowledge, and culture.
Instructional: The school receives twenty-four 45 minute workshop sessions to divide amongst all grade levels. Bluepalm
kinesthetic language tasks blend movement and emotion to encourage student involvement, increase communication skills, and
anchor knowledge: our visual art techniques offer multiple perspectives to encourage creative, time-on-task, problem solving
skills. Bluepalm workshops are designed to develop higher-order thinking skills and provide staff with modular, time effective
techniques to enhance learning.
Performance: Two 45 minute theatrical performances embrace universal themes of growing up, personal identity, and the arts.
Bluepalm performances demonstrate that the qualities which make a good performer also make a good classroom learner: using
minimal sets or props, performers rely on descriptive vocabulary, emotional range, and movement to generate, and sustain,
interest. Top notch performances and award-winning scripts make Bluepalm's postmodern assemblies exciting theatrical and
educational experience for diverse learning communities..
Professional Development: Teaching is a performing art. Led by company directors Jackie Planeix and Tom Crocker,
Bluepalm's 90 minute professional development helps staff embed standards of artistic excellence in everyday classroom
activities. This on-your-feet, educational, and artistic experience addresses each and every staff as a Professional Learning
Community committed to best practices based on rigor, relevance, and relationships. Each year a new program enables our longterm partners to deepen their arts education goals, standards, and practices.
Collaborative Planning: An on-site meeting with the Arts Cadre Chair, school principal, and Bluepalm Executive Director
Tom Crocker allows us to mutually: 1) shape program components to address the needs of the entire learning community; 2)
address specific staff issues, concerns, and goals; 3) design a convenient master schedule.
Offsite/Field Trip: No
Resources: 1) 'Art at the Center of Education': this helpful guide shares the Bluepalm philosophy and provides practical ways
to keep the arts alive in all subject areas; 2) Lesson Plans: a three-part course outline for all participants; 3) Mentorship

of the follow-up language/visual arts project.

Description of Partner: CAP’s mission is to provide high quality, imaginative, in-depth youth arts education, to connect high
school students to opportunities for higher education and arts careers. Taught by extraordinary CalArts faculty, alumni and
student artists, each year CAP provides more than 3,000 youth with free, in-depth arts training in all of the art forms taught at
CalArts and produces 100 public events featuring student work. Since it began in 1990, CAP developed a unique educational
model that has been replicated by organizations throughout the country. CAP partners with 18 community arts organizations
and the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs to provide more than 40 programs, and works with LAUSD to
implement the ArtsCOOL program.
Description of Plan and Components: The ArtsCOOL Program is a partnership with LAUSD/Arts Education Branch, CAP,
and 20 LAUSD Options High Schools, providing hundreds of students with 30 in-school weekly classes in African
dance/drumming, animation, Balinese gamelan, Brazilian dance, choreography, Latin percussion, playwriting, creative writing,
digital media, print making sculpture, video, visual art, Afro-Cuban percussion/dance, and theater, among other offerings.
Instructional Time with Students: CAP involves 10 CalArts faculty, 14 alumni and 36 student artists as instructors for
ArtsCOOL. Curriculum is aligned with California’s Visual and Performing Arts Standards and follows the CAP model of
cultural inclusiveness and one-on-one mentoring (and portfolio review as applicable) with collaborative and individual
artmaking projects that vary depending on the disciplines taught.
Performances/Exhibitions/Events: The ArtsCOOL Program celebrates student artwork in public events at each school, Plaza
de Raza, Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater (REDCAT) and CalArts. The CalArts' all-day event includes a guided tour of
the campus for students from all 20 schools. Events also include a screening at REDCAT located in the Walt Disney Concert
Hall complex in downtown Los Angeles.
Professional Development for Teachers: Each year through ArtsCOOL, CAP provides a professional development day for
participating teachers. In addition, CAP offers from one to five professional development sessions per year for LAUSD high
school teachers in digital media, world music, jazz and dance interdisciplinary programs..
Collaborative Planning Time: CAP works with the Arts Education Branch and the Options Schools teachers to meet the needs
of the schools and the students. Meetings take place four to six times per year for planning, evaluation, teaching strategies, and
culminating events. CAP provides a part-time coordinator to work with the teachers and artists on an individual basis throughout
the year.
Offsite/Field Trip: All ArtsCOOL students are invited to a year-end public event at CalArts and each school participates in up
to two field trips per year, visiting the Getty Museum, California Science Center, Watts Towers Arts Center, and in the Los
Angeles Zoo, among others.
Resources: Visual and Performing Arts Content Standards for California Public Schools, Digital Cookbook, digital media
curriculum guide produced by CAP, lesson plans, printed invitations, DVD's, T-shirts, musical instruments, costumes, Jazz and
World Music Teacher's Packet and CD, video cameras, art supplies, computer equipment, digital cameras, digital sheet music,
etc.
Special Requirement, Comments, Needs or Consideration: LAUSD Options High Schools are designed for those teenagers
who need a smaller learning environment in order to graduate high school. Needs and considerations vary from student to
student, which is why CAP insists on a low student-teacher ratio that supports arts education with individualized attention for
each student.

Description of Partner: Beginning in Los Angeles as a party clown in 1992, Tommy the Clown has since turned
the popular form of children’s birthday entertainment into a worldwide phenomenon. Tommy is acknowledged as
the pioneer of the competitive Hip-Hop dance movement originally known as “Clowning” and now commonly
referred to as “Krump Dancing” – a form of freestyle dance that has become an alternative to violence. Tommy
formerly owned the Tommy the Clown Academy, where he offered daily dance classes and workshops on
Theatrical Clowning and Krumping, emphasizing on the structure of performance and creativity. In 2005, Tommy
began Clown Street Productions (CSP) – an organization dedicated to expand the visibility, education and social
importance of the Krump Movement. Tommy understands and recognizes the relation between arts and academics
and he is committed to work with the schools to implement the study of this unique art form.
Description of Plan and Components: CSP has developed a 5-week Standards-based plan that breaks down the
elements of dance, choreography and performance. By the end of the program, students will have learned about the
birth of Hip Hop dance and roots in African culture; the vocabulary, action and reaction of dance; how to create
their own performance and present them effectively; and learn about potential career opportunities. This program
works best in an auditorium setting.
Instructional Time with Students: Students will have four one-hour lessons with CSP instructors to discuss
appropriate styles of music, patterns of movement, adapting to specific venues and develop performance and
presentation. Lessons include dance instruction, history, vocabulary, physical conditioning and focused energy of
dance; choreography and staging as it relates to time and space; the significance of make-up and costuming; and
potential career opportunities the dance field.
Performances/Exhibitions/Events: Tommy the Clown and the Hip Hop Clowns will provide a 30-minute
interactive dance performance demonstrating freestyle dance and choreographed routines. The students will then be
able to evaluate and reflect on the reactions to the dance moves, how the dancers communicate through movement
and discuss what they learned from the story within the performance.
Professional Development for Teachers: A CSP representative will meet with teachers for one hour to train them
on how to create a theatrical clowning and dance performance with their students. Teachers will understand the
basic fundamentals of clowning and krumping as it relates to the Content Standards.
Collaborative Planning Time: CSP will provide representative to meet with each school to custom-tailor our
program to suit specific needs and coordinate schedules. In the second meeting, CSP will present a finalized plan
and schedule.
Resources: CSP will provide own sound system for performance and lessons.

Description of Partner: CRE Theatre was founded in 2003 with the ultimate goal of creating a safe environment
in which both children and adults are free to express themselves without limitation in the visual and performing
arts. Students explore the world of theater through the process of creating original plays and musicals. CRE Theatre
offers a non-competitive atmosphere focused on enabling students to discover their own genuine voice while
cultivating an understanding for teamwork and respect for other people’s creative choices.
Description of Arts Learning Plan: Students are introduced to the components of storytelling through theater in
this 10-week residency. This program draws from the students’ imaginations, culminating in an original theatrical
piece. They learn the technique, vocabulary and historical role of storytelling through this process. Students are
engaged in brainstorming activities, improvisation games, and character development. This holistic approach to
theater covers everything from story and character creation, set and costume design and backstage duties.
Instructional: Students will meet once a week for 10 weeks working with professional actors, artists, and
musicians to create their original theatrical piece. Each sixty-minute workshop will focus on all the aspects that go
into creating an original play such as: story and character creation, conflict resolution, goals and obstacles, music,
dance, sets and props, and rehearsal. Our workshops support literacy and are based on the California VAPA
Standards.
Performance: Participants will provide a final performance of their work for friends and family in an assembly.
The assembly will be followed by a Q&A session where participants can explain to audience members the
contributions they made to the project.
Professional Development: Teachers will learn the framework for original story creation from our instructors.
They will learn the benefits of implementing story creation into other aspects of their curriculum. This is shown to
be a positive factor in both the students’ interest in the material and their retention of the subject matter. Teachers
will work with our instructors to learn cooperative learning skills and techniques that will aid them in the
classroom. They will also learn strategies for a reflective process that will engage their students and help build
their self-esteem.

Description of Network Partner: FACES OF CULTURE is a diverse group of twelve working Los Angeles based filmmakers
dedicated to bringing tolerance, creativity and media literacy into the classroom through critical analysis and the creation of
documentaries. Our STANDARDS BASED curriculum teaches students academic, technical and interpersonal skills. By
working with the Faces of Culture staff students will: broaden their awareness of various ethnic groups as represented through
film; elevate knowledge of and pride in their own culture; explore artistic and technical procedures of creating a documentary;
develop their ability to work as an integral part of a team. Through this work, students will develop skills to evaluate the impact
of film on educating the public about diversity.
Description of Arts Learning Plan “Celebrating Diversity through Documentary Filmmaking:” Faces of Culture
filmmakers will guide students and their teachers through the collaborative process of making short documentaries that
expresses a view of their world. Working in the K-12 environment, we marry our program to a specific course of study (predetermined with participating teachers) for each participating classroom. Documentary filmmaking is a natural complement to
most coursework. As documentarians, students will: work as a team to develop a plan and topic to explore; execute relevant
research; outline and plan goals of their project; gain skills in artistic and technical procedures; conduct interviews; gain real
world experience by taking an idea from concept through completion. During the 7 week course, students will view a variety of
(age specific) documentary clips representing a broad spectrum of cultures and develop an awareness of the uniqueness of other
ethnic groups as represented though film. Through their work with their peers and the Faces of Culture staff, students will be
able to evaluate the impact film has on educating the public about diversity and gain knowledge of and pride in their own
culture.
Instructional: 12 classroom sessions, 2 hrs each, over 7 weeks. One filmmaker will be consistent throughout the entire course
with 3 other filmmakers each attending 2 class sessions. Each of the filmmaker will guide students in their specific areas of
expertise and offer unique insight and different points of view in the filmmaking process.
Performance/Exhibition/Demonstration: At the end of the 7 weeks, there will be a screening presentation of the student
project to their school, family and community.
Professional Development: Two professional development sessions, 1 hour each, with participating teacher(s) and
administrators will enable our staff to develop lessons specific to the curriculum, needs and goals of the particular class. We will
also address any questions, regarding the camera and editing software. This course welcomes and encourages the participation
of classroom teachers to use these techniques in future work with their students. This course can absorb 25-35 students with 1-5
teachers.
Collaborative Planning Time: Two (2) planning meetings, 1 hour each, will inform parents and community members of the
student’s activities during the projection of their documentary. We will also plan the logistics of student’s final screening
presentation.
Offsite/Field Trip: One field trip will be planned to a museum, (such as the Museum of Radio and Television in Beverly
Hills), a special screening at a film festival or another location pertinent to the student's particular class documentary. Buses for
this filed trip will be provided, gratis.
Resources: We provide film clips for viewing and a teacher’s study guide as well as expendable supplies e.g. spiral notebooks
for student’s journals, videotapes, recordable DVD’s for student’s projects and copy fees for handouts.

Description of Network Partner: The HeArt Project (HP) creatively links teens in alternative high schools with professional
artists and cultural institutions to imagine, produce and present new work. Teenagers attending Options high schools work with
professional artists in programs that progress through three levels – workshops and public presentations, residencies, and
scholarships. HP believes that overlooked young people are extraordinarily creative, that artists are a significant civic resource,
and that their ideas, collaborations and work benefit the entire culture.
Description of Arts Learning Plan: The HeArt Project provides Options students with sequential, comprehensive, standardsbased arts education in the classroom in all art forms. HP hires professional artists to collaborate with Options high school
students in the creation of new artwork during three, consecutive, thematic, 11-week workshops from September to June. HP
Workshop Coordinators are present at every session to act as a resource for the artist and classroom teacher
Instructional: For each workshop series, Options students receive 10 consecutive weeks of in-class arts instruction. Weekly
sessions are two hours long and include direct instruction, demonstration, discussion, student practice, and evaluation. Artist
instructors may include field trips to partner cultural institutions as part of their instruction. During the 11th week of the series,
students present their artwork to the public (see below).
Performances/Exhibitions/Events: At the culmination of each workshops series (November, March, and June), students
present their work to the public at a partner cultural institution such as The Museum of Contemporary Art, the Natural History
Museum, the California African American Museum, and others.
Professional Development: Program Orientation: All artist instructors and classroom teachers participate in an orientation at
the start of each program year, which includes presentations by past HeArt Project artists and teachers, and an overview of the
VAPA standards. Artist Meetings: Three times during the year, HeArt Project artist instructors come together with staff to share
best practices and challenges. Ongoing Professional Development: Through its relationship with Art Center College of Design,
The HeArt Project is able to secure scholarships for classroom teachers to attend the college's Summer Institute for Teachers.
The HeArt Project also facilitates professional development opportunities for artists and classroom teachers at its partner
cultural institutions, providing them access to institutional resources.
Collaborative Planning Time: Following the initial program orientation (see above), planning meetings between classroom
teachers and artists take place at the school sites. Artists share lesson plans and receive input from the classroom teacher and
Workshop Coordinator. The HeArt Project Program Director participates in planning meetings as needed.
Offsite/Field Trip: Culminating public presentations of student work take place out of the classroom at partner cultural
institutions. Prior to each presentation, students receive docent-led tours of relevant exhibitions. During the course of the
workshop series, additional off-site field trips may be included by artists as part of their instruction.
Resources: The HeArt Project provides all art supplies for workshops and works with the school site for facility-related needs
as appropriate. Artist/Teacher Handbook: At the program orientation (see above) artists and classroom teachers receive a
handbook which includes sample lesson plans, a copy of the VAPA standards, and relevant program contact information.
Transportation: Transportation is included in this contract at no expense to the school. Number of buses per
school per year: 4.

Description of Network Partner: Hollywood Entertainment Museum (HEM) preserves modern American culture
by celebrating the history and the significant achievements in the entertainment arts and Hollywood. Our Mission is
to educate, preserve, interpret and make available artifacts and materials that document the aesthetic, technological,
social and political history of the entertainment industry. Since its opening in 1996, HEM has touched thousands of
youth in Los Angeles County through a media arts based education outreach program through a professional staff
development integrating the media arts into the curriculum.
Arts Learning Program: Hollywood Entertainment Museum (HEM) will present a program to provide students
in a single classroom, (or equivalent number) with the opportunity to utilize the media arts to produce a public
service announcement (PSA) that relates to grade-specific curriculum.
Instructional: An entertainment industry professional (media artist) guides students through the activity in 2
sessions at the school site. The first session creates awareness of the media arts, develops PSA concepts related to
the subject area, and introduces students to script writing activities. The second session focuses on production, with
all necessary expertise and equipment (cameras, lights, microphones) supplied by the media artist
Performance/ Exhibition /Demonstration: The culminating event is a screening of the PSA at the school for an
audience of students, parents, teachers and administrators to develop an awareness of the importance of arts
education in the school culture.
Professional Development: The professional development component encourages teachers to infuse the
entertainment arts into their standard core curriculum and bring the relevance of education to an audience that is
inundated with media sound bites. During the first visit HEM staff will meet with the teacher in a collaborative
planning session. In this session HEM staff plans the project with the teachers and shows them how to integrate the
media arts into lesson plans.
Collaborative Planning Meetings: Working with teachers, parents, and administrators, HEM staff uses its
resources to plan standards-based lesson plans integrating the media arts into the curriculum.
Offsite/Field Trip: A field trip to Paramount Studios and a tour provides students with an awareness of the media
arts and the production process.
Resources: Each school may request a copy of the museums curriculum guide, beyond the stars.
Special Requirements: The school’s ability to provide facilities and equipment will determine the audience size of
the project screening.

Description of Partner: With a combined 45 years of teaching with in-school providers like East L.A. Classic
Theatre and The Playwrights Project, Tonyo Melendez and Ruben Padilla have created “Secrets for Academic
Achievement and Life Success.” In sharing personal experiences and ideas, students build the confidence needed
to continue exploring, and in learning a magic effect that utilizes such skills as math, spelling, or memory, they
become motivated to excel academically. Learning is M.A.G.I.C. goes beyond the classroom to help kids
understand the limitless potential in their everyday lives and teaches them to discover the powerful magic that is
within us all.
Description of Plan and Components: Children absolutely love magic, and Learning is M.A.G.I.C. is specifically designed to
tap into the universal joy of wonder while making learning fun. In this unique program, students are exposed to the daily
application of our M.A.G.I.C. acronym: Making a plan, Acting without fear, Growing as a person, Imagining without limits,
and a Commitment to excellence. Through a framework of dramatic structure, students learn the four ingredients of our
“Dramatic Sandwich” (Character, Setting, Conflict, and Relationships) and how they apply to their personal lives. Pencils
become “Magic Wands” and journals become “Secret Notebooks” and every day becomes a new source of wonder and
imagination.
Instructional Time with Students: In each two-hour session secrets and skills to perform magic effects in front of an
audience are taught, and these specially selected magic effects often combine academic skills (memory, spelling, or
arithmetic) and hand/eye coordination. Creativity, wonder, critical thinking, and communication skills are
developed through the verbal sharing of personal experiences through theatre-based storytelling. Theatre games
are played to aid in language acquisition and self-expression, and dramatic structure is explored to aid students in
conflict resolution and problem solving. Personal monologues are created and combined with magic and music for
a final presentation for parents and peers, and after the final show, a one-hour post evaluation session is provided to
solidify learned concepts and bring closure to the residency.
Performances/Exhibitions/Events: Two performances are included in this program. Before the start of the residency, the
entire student body enjoys an engaging and interactive 45 min launch assembly by a professional Learning is M.A.G.I.C.
artist that highlights key concepts and positive life lessons. This is followed by a lively, 15 min post-show Socratic style
Q&A session. At the end of the residency, students perform in a one-hour final show that combines magic, music, and
monologues and utilizes learned strategies and acquired skills.
Professional Development for Teachers: Two workshops are included in this program. The first , entitled “Teaching
is M.A.G.I.C.” is a fun-filled, four-hour workshop where as many as 30 teachers or staff members learn easy magic
effects. Teachers are introduced to the Learning is M.A.G.I.C. Script Arc, a plotline graph that teaches dramatic
expression, conflict resolution and goal setting. Our second, two hour workshop, “Parenting is M.A.G.I.C.” is for
the students’ moms and dads, is taught in both English and Spanish to give parents vital skills needed to promote
student learning and provide an optimum home atmosphere that is conducive to life-lessons and child-bonding.
Collaborative Planning Time: Three collaborative one-hour meetings are provided with this program. First, the
program’s Executive and/or Artistic director will meet with teachers and administrators in a pre-residency Planning
Meeting. A second, mid-residency Progress Meeting will help to address specific needs. Finally, a Post
Assessment Meeting is provided for impact evaluation and future planning.
Resources: Journals (“Secret Notebooks”) and Learning is M.A.G.I.C. writing implements (“Magic Wands”) for
students, curriculum handouts for teachers, excerpt texts (monologues, speeches, quotes), and all magic effect
supplies.

Description of Partner: The Media Arts Partnership (MAP) provides narrative, live-action media instruction for
elementary and middle schools. MAP brings intuitive, affective, and physical learning to the classroom by
combining Content Standards and each school’s curriculum objectives into compact media arts lessons designed to
excite students about the possibilities of media and education, and to leave teachers with new classroom tools. We
are happy to provide a sample DVD for interested schools.
Description of Plan & Components: Students love to see themselves on television. They love to watch video.
With MAP training that enthusiasm is harnessed to build their bond with education, enhance their familiarity with
technology, heighten their aesthetic sense, encourage confidence in their own creativity, and teach art and academic
content standards while providing articulation for high school media arts programs. The school selects the topic
and students, working with MAP and their teacher, decide on the setting and characters of their narrative scenes,
and then, in a grade appropriate manner, structure them into simple scripts and storyboards using a template
supplied by MAP. Scripts are acted by students and shot so as to require little or no editing (the demands of which
can make media arts difficult to integrate into the classroom).
Instructional: A MAP instructor will work on site with four different classrooms, for approximately fifty minutes
each, for four days during one school week. Activities can be customized during collaborative planning but, for
upper grades, might be as follows: Day 1 – visual and technical training, Day 2 – scripting, Day 3 – storyboarding
and rehearsing, Day 4 – shooting.
Performances/Exhibitions/Events: Projects are retained by the school for screening after MAP training.
Although MAP focuses heavily on process rather than results, student scenes are a useful archive of educational
innovation and can give parents a welcome glimpse into their child’s classroom experience.
Professional Development for Teachers: Immediately before or after Collaborative Planning a MAP instructor
will meet jointly with teachers to prepare them for the instructional week and to discuss strategies for using MAP
training as a springboard for future, teacher generated projects. Strategies for incorporating editing can also be
discussed.
Collaborative Planning Time: The MAP instructor will meet with a school representative to discuss the selection
of a language arts, history-social science, or science topic and a theme. These will be selected by the school in
consultation with MAP, and finalized via phone and email in the week prior to instruction.
Resources: MAP supplies a digital camera, cables, videotape, and script templates.
Special Requirement, Comments, Needs or Considerations: A school television is required. Classes can be held
wherever a television can be viewed. If mutually agreeable, the number of classes served can be increased or
decreased within the total allotment of 200 minutes per day.

Description of Network Partner: The Music Center believes that the arts enhance the lives of all people and are crucial to the
development of every child. As one of the nation’s largest arts education organizations, the Music Center has been a recognized
leader in school-based arts education since 1979. Through a partnership with the Music Center, your school gains access to a
roster of over 100 world-class professional Performers, Ensembles, and Teaching Artists in Dance, Music, Theatre, and/or the
Visual Arts. We specialize in customizing the level of instruction and professional development to meet school-site needs —
from an introduction to an art form to a deep exploration.
Description of Arts Learning Plan: Imagine an acclaimed ensemble thrilling students with an American folk songs
performance. Students return to class to explore this art form with a musician. They not only sing songs — they compose their
own melodies and lyrics. Imagine teachers learning from an artist to implement multi-media curriculum resources for music
lessons. Imagine these teachers implementing their own music lessons long after the program ends . . . Through carefully
connected arts experiences, our Artist-Teacher Partnership Program sparks classroom learning and increases teacher confidence
to teach the arts in any one of the four arts disciplines.
Instructional Services for Students: In Student Modeling Workshops, a Music Center Teaching Artist, selected to work
specifically with your school, provides 14 days of instruction for four core classrooms: Each core class participates in 12 onehour sessions with their Music Center Teaching Artist, learning and practicing elements, skills and vocabulary of the arts, and
making connections. Since performing/presenting and reflecting are important aspects of the creative process, each residency
package also includes one day for students to present their creative work, providing opportunities for the teachers and artist to
observe and acknowledge students’ learning in the art. A final post-culmination reflection day guarantees dedicated time for
teachers and students to reflect on, document and assess their own learning.
Performances/Exhibitions/Events: School-wide Performance Assemblies: Live, on-campus, school-wide Performance
Assemblies selected from the Music Center roster of performances expand knowledge and understanding in the arts and across
the curriculum by inspiring creativity through artistry.
Professional Development for Teachers: The Music Center Artist-Teacher Partnership Program provides hands-on
professional development for four core teachers, building their capacity to actively engage their students in creative learning
experiences by utilizing professional artists and works of art as artistic models and resources for classroom instruction. In
addition to the Student Modeling Workshops (above) that demonstrate 14 hours of standards-based, sequential lesson
implementation for teachers with their students, each package also includes 3 hours of collaborative planning/coaching time
throughout the residency for the core teachers with their Music Center Teaching Artist. This cooperative time: 1) Fosters a
team-approach to arts instruction; 2) Develops competencies in facilitating appropriate grade-level arts learning strategies; 3)
Increases fluency in using arts strategies to address comprehensive learning goals; and 4) Provides practice observing and
evaluating student learning through discussion of performance levels and examples of student work.
Collaborative Planning Time: Music Center staff works with your school leadership (principal, arts cadre chairperson, lead
teachers) to individually design your Artist-Teacher Partnership Program, including selection of a focus arts discipline, a
Teaching Artist, and the Performing Roster Artist(s) to address each school's specific learning goals.
Resources: It is the school’s responsibility to provide basic workshop materials. Resources will be used by the Music Center for
other related materials/services provided by the artists to support implementation of the Artist-Teacher Partnership Program
such as instrument usage, lesson plans/handouts, special visual arts materials, equipment, and Artsource® Curriculum Units.

Description of Network Partner: “Jailed minds now have no limits.” From the classroom to the stage, the Code of the West
meets the Code of the Street in (Out)Law & Order, is an intensive year-long grade 8 theatre arts education curriculum integrated
into team-taught History and Language Arts classes. Its unique focus explores American values — honor, justice, and selfdefense — formed during westward expansion, and the legacy of those ideals on students’ lives today. A key strategy is drama
taught by a resident theatre artist. Students write and perform their work for the student body, their families and the community.
In five years at Northridge Middle School, (Out)Law & Order successfully models how to implement a powerful arts education
curriculum in core classes. Students say that they want “to write more, and perform what they write!” (All quotes from student's
written reflections.)
Description of Arts Learning Plan: “…taught me about the Code of the West and the difference between Justice and
Violence.” (Out)Law & Order meets the developmental and psychological needs of the middle school students. Theatre is a key
strategy for improving literacy and cultivating students’ critical thinking about the roots of violence and developing conflictresolution skills to deal with disputes. Experienced theatre teaching artists collaborate with the students and their classroom
teachers two hours every week in 12-week segments. (Out)Law & Order is offered in three 12-week segments procured singly
or in multiples. Each segment has a culminating student-written and –performed play. For schools that procure all three
segments, the last 12-week segment, in June, will see their students perform in a professional theater, as well as for school
assemblies for the school’s student body. Also, schools requesting all 3 segments of $5000 each will receive 36 weeks of direct
instruction to students and professional development for a total of $11,000 (a discount of $4000 on the 3rd package). All three
segments builds provides students 36 weeks of rigorous study and depth of experience and parents, students not only “come up
taller”, they become participatory citizens and leaders in these discussions.
Instructional: “…not only did you have to think about what was a good thing to do, but you also had to put yourself in the
character’s place to see what they were feeling and how they would say certain things.” (Out)Law & Order: 1) develops tools
and habits of literacy and inquiry and 2) equips students to analyze sources and consequences of violent conflict and identify
alternatives to violence. (Out)Law & Order incorporates theatre arts, history/social science and English-Language Arts Content
Standards in all phases of the program.
Performance/Exhibition/Demonstration: Students learn the fundamentals of theatre and utilize theatre elements; sets,
costumes props, sound, lights, and live music. Student graphic and written work is exhibited.
Professional Development: The OLO professional development institute has been designed to enhance teachers’ teaching
practice by using theatre in relationship to the OLO textbook. One 8 hour day with curriculum and drama instructor, followed
by three meetings during school's PD day for an hour-and-half meeting to review and plan.

Description of Partner: Theatre Of Hearts, founded in 1987, is a Los Angeles-based, 501(c)(3), nonprofit
corporation whose mission is to promote understanding between people through cultural and artistic forums and to
empower local communities through education in the arts. Launched in 1992, the Theatre Of Hearts/Youth First
Artist-In-Residence Program strives to (1) enrich the scholastic experience of youth through arts education, (2)
promote the development of artistic skills, and (3) provide quality, long-term, standards-based fine arts education
for Los Angeles youth in Elementary, Middle, and High schools county-wide. Theatre Of Hearts/Youth First
(TOHYF) contracts versatile, ethnically diverse, professional artists to provide hands-on, interactive arts instruction
in discipline-specific skills & techniques, vocabulary, historical & cultural contexts, aesthetic valuing, and crossdisciplinary connections in visual arts, theater, dance, music, creative writing, and storytelling.
Description of Plan & Components: TOHYF will provide a Youth First Artist-In-Residence Program that
includes: 36 instructional workshop sessions, each 50-minutes in length, in a choice of visual arts, theater, dance,
music, creative writing, or storytelling. The 36 sessions may be divided among 2 to 6 classes depending on the
schools’ needs/goals (note: all classes will work with the same artist/discipline).
In addition to direct arts instruction, the program also includes:
a) Standards-based curriculum developed by TOHYF with input from classroom teachers
b) Pre & post testing to assess initial and developed skill levels of students
c) Culminating Works-In-Progress Presentation by participating students
d) Program evaluation form for teachers and administrators.
Performance/Exhibitions/Events: Work-In-Progress Presentation: Students will learn to showcase their work
during a final, on-site Presentation and/or Exhibition, attended by the entire school community, families, and
community members. These exhibitions/performances are designed to build self-esteem and provide youth
recognition for their accomplishments and experiences in art-making.
Professional Development for Teachers: Teachers participating in the workshops will receive a total of 3 hours
of direct professional development in addition to the collaborative class time spent with the Artist/Mentor. Other
teachers, up to a total of 15, may also participate in the professional development sessions. The three hours may be
scheduled as three 1-hour sessions, two 1.5 hr sessions, or one 3-hour session depending on the art discipline and
teacher preferences. The hands-on, interactive professional development sessions will include: skill and technique
building, performance development, theoretical approaches to arts education, and instruction on how to effectively
incorporate art as an integral part of the core curriculum, fulfilling content standards in language arts, math,
science, or social studies as well as the California Visual and Performing Arts Standards.

with teachers and address any issues or concerns related to work space, water usage, etc.
