survey for my research project

hey guys!

for ap research, my topic is about arts education in different cultures, as well as how people's environment impacts their views on the arts in the long run. i'm also conducting virtual interviews for anyone willing to volunteer (directions are in the survey)

here's the link to the survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeIQOn5K-mXzNyyPHQ_x2QW02TKhwu5ghqknYvsnBiek5WXaw/viewform

Just thinking of nuwho doctors being unapologetically socialist, absolutely based and sometimes just borderline anarchist

As someone said, the commie doctors are unionizing

these two should consider recruiting David Tennant too (I mean it's only a matter of time before he pops up with one of these)

Jonathan’s interview with his elementary teacher Linda Tough discussing arts education.

Jonathan talks about wanting to impress his teacher Linda on the first day of music class by wearing a shirt with ‘I Love Lucy’ on it, because he knew she loved the show also. He came to love learning through her classes, and did his first talent show in her class. Performing became a joy once you come to the performance, after hard work in practice.

Linda says her class was about teaching kids to be good humans, and Jonathan is one of the best humans.

Jonathan continued to visit Linda in middle school to remember her teachings and before he auditioned for his first musical and his audition for the Sound of Music tour.

It should come as no surprise, then, that in the Educational Theater Association’s most recent survey, 85 percent of American theater teachers expressed concern about censorship. Even Shakespeare is at risk: In Florida, new laws led to the restriction of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” to grades 10 through 12 and “Romeo and Juliet” could not be taught in full to avoid falling afoul of legislation targeting “sexual conduct.” Kill off young people’s exposure to theater, and you kill off a generation of playgoers, along with the empathy and camaraderie (already in short supply) that is intrinsic to theater.

Colman Domingo on how art changes lives

"It's not about you becoming a fantastic artist, but you becoming a more expressive human."

Colman Domingo and I have both experienced the power of arts programs changing people's lives. We talk about a few of those experiences in this clip.

The Beginnings of Perpich Center for the Arts

Since 2010, the second week in September has been National Arts in Education week. Since the 1980s, Minnesota's students have had a unique way to integrate arts into their education -- Perpich Center for the Arts.

The passion project of former Governor Rudy Perpich and his wife Lola, the Minnesota School and Resource Center for the Arts was created by the state legislature in 1985, The Arts Center served a dual purpose as a state resource for arts education and a public arts high school. As a state resource, the center supported arts educators and offered art programs throughout Minnesota. Support included classes and instructional materials, as well as a resource library.

In September 1989, the center's arts high school opened its doors in Golden Valley. Complete with a dormitory, the Perpich Arts High School enrolls 11th and 12th graders from across the state. These 300+ students receive a tuition-free, college-preparatory education that centers one of six arts areas -- dance, literary arts, media arts, music, theater, or visual arts.

Ya girl is growing like a beanstalk!

This past week made 6 years since I started my career in arts education at [insert nonprofit org]. I didn't know it was arts education then. Hell, I ain't know a lot of shit then. When I walked in as Program Coordinator, I really just NEEDED a full time job with benefits; today, I’m a confident arts educator and the Director of Education and Youth Development at the same nonprofit. Here are some things I've learned since March 2018:

You don't know shit until you learn some shit! I walked in knowing it all!! Until I had to learn it all. A lot of us walk into jobs, projects, opportunities thinking we will immediately start implementing new, bubbling ideas. I found my season of learning the organization to be gruesome, humbling, and ultimately growing.

Lean into what you do know! Truth is, I created my current role. I saw a need inside our program and filled it with what I knew. Theatre games, team building, life skills! Turns out what I did naturally was actually knocking on the door of SEL development i.e. collaboration, conflict resolution, self management, emotional regulation, etc. That’s when we [the org & myself] found out funders and donors LOVE programs that center social, emotional skill development for youth and communities!!! Lmao.

Take control of your own professional development! Yes, my instincts were natural but that doesn't mean I didn't need developing. I definitely needed to walk it like I talked it. How could I teach emotional regulation to children without working to regulate my own. So, I found PDs, conferences, programs, a mentor [haha another story for another day], a therapist [AMEN!!!], and challenging opportunities that would grow me personally as well as stretch my understanding of youth development and shape my ideology around SEL curriculum building. Whew! It’s been a ride! And lastly,

Stick with some shit! Y'all! I aint gon lie like I've not tried to quit, and a few times lmao, cause what millennial you know have stayed at ONE job for 6 years? Exactly. However [insert non profit org] really invested in my growth and understanding of arts education. They granted and funded professional opportunities that would lay the groundwork for the organization’s Education DEPARTMENT! A first for [insert nonprofit]!! I’m over a department y’all. That’s nuts!! I never could have guessed this 6 years ago.

Since 2018, so much has changed. And I thank God for nothing being the same. I made no resolutions in 2024. I want to rest in this season I’ve worked so hard to get to. Let come what may. I’ll be ready! ✨

A perk of being friends with an art teacher: I got to play with clay today! I’m looking forward to working more on this next week. (It’s upside down as the feet are too wet to support the weight.)

I remembered several techniques, tools, and terms from my high school ceramics classes and I’m thankful for the education I received. I was fortunate to attend a public school that valued the arts enough to encourage students to take those classes instead of having a study period, supported the teachers enough to give them tools and supplies beyond the bare minimum, and came up with a course schedule that allowed students to take advanced arts and advanced core classes simultaneously. I’m enjoying putting my knowledge to use again!

🌺100 days of productivity🌺

Days 4+5/100

I don't know how people can keep this consistent lmao. Yesterday was another busy day, going to the gym, doing my usual Saturday reset, homework, and tutoring.

Today was also very busy ;; I did not get a lot of studying done this weekend, but it'll be fine :")

Bring Out Yer Band! *clang* Bring Out Yer Band! *clang*

It’s no secret (and possibly no surprise) that the public education system in Saskatchewan (and other parts of the country) is under attack. While governments have been claiming to increase funding to the sector, the truth is that education (and I’m mostly talking about primary and secondary education, because post-secondary is a whole different kettle of worms) has been underfunded for at least…

Don't skip my story read till the end 😥👇

Cases of Skin Rash are increasing everyday because of bacterial , fungal or viral infections , on the other sides alot of insects such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and flies, which act as vectors. What we are witnessing in shelter centers and displacement camps from the accumulation of stagnant water and inadequate management of waste and sanitation provides a fertile ground for disease vectors. Every day we see in our Medical point about 50 cases of multi-cause rash. 😥💔

Save our children from this war. Link for donation 👇🔗🍉

We still very far from the goal. I hope everyone will donate even a little. I am confident that you will stand with me and support me until I reach my goal and remove my family from the danger of war. Share my story. Pin my story to your page. Everything helps.

instead of words there is squiggles

[shakespearenews]

But with the collaboration of teachers, we co-constructed a research project to test which measurement tools might help us better understand the impact of our work bringing theatre-based approaches to teaching Shakespeare into the classroom. The result of that research is Time to Act.

Arts education

Arts education plays a crucial role in fostering creativity, critical thinking, and cultural awareness among students. It helps develop skills like problem-solving, teamwork, and self-expression, which are valuable in every aspect of life. From painting and music to theater and dance, the arts enrich our minds and nurture innovative thinkers. Advocates argue it’s essential for holistic development, while others debate its role in modern curricula.
