Project Title: Write Your Story (WYS): Literacy Building Through Arts Integration
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
A 2022-23 education report demonstrated 42% of children were ready for kindergarten, with only 29% of those living in poverty ready. Story Tapestries\u2019 improves the literacy level of children in economically challenged and potentially emotionally difficult situations by using multiple arts forms as the vehicle for teaching and learning. According to the teachers surveyed, we have increased students\u2019 literacy levels by 95% supporting their ability to recall stories, answer comprehension questions and tell their story. <\/p>\n
WYS is a comprehensive approach to youth development and academic enrichment, using arts-integrated educational experiences taught in collaboration with classroom educators to support social emotional learning (SEL) and academic achievement. Program design includes dedicated co-planning between teaching artists and teachers, conversations with the caregivers, and observation of students in action to ensure curriculum materials reflect SEL and academic needs of the community. This generates engagement & fosters a supportive, identity-safe, inclusive educational setting. <\/p>\n
Programs at each school and early childhood center includes: One 1.5-hour interactive family engagement events including food, art-centered workshop, a performance; A 3-Hour workshop for teachers on how to use Arts Integration and Universal Design for Learning to develop students\u2019 SEL and academic skills; an artist-in-residence program directly teaching in PreK – 2nd grade classrooms with arts-integrated activities for students and for teachers to support academic achievement and SEL skills (the artist will be at each site for 10 days, providing a minimum of 5 for up to 10 hours of direct programming in each classroom). When children learn through the arts, evidence-based research shows simultaneous acquisition and reinforcement of academic and social-emotional skills. Improving these foundational skills supports academic achievement. (Johnson-Green & Flannery, 2020) <\/p>\n
