The 3 C's: Collaborative Development and Sharing
New Art Basics maintains a variety of systems that allow Teacher/Researchers
to share their successes, learn from each others experiences, and collectively
build a program and curriculum that promotes the maximum in staff development
through Collaborative Development and Sharing. It does this through:
- Providing strategies written in a Common
Format that will build your local art program. Searching through
the NAB database, finding strategies that meet your students' needs and
national, state, and local guidelines and standards, sharing your classroom
testing results, and conceiving, designing, writing, and submitting new
strategy ideas to the "Living Curriculum" database, contribute
to a career long educational interchange with a large national group of
professional art teachers.
-
- Providing unique professional development materials in the NAB Clearinghouse.
This NAB maintained resource, in the NAB Clearinghouse, contains for 2
week loan:
- Copies of +2 Master's degree Creative Components on a variety of Qualitative
Classroom Research Topics, related to NAB.
- Original teaching materials developed by NAB teacher/researchers.
- Videotapes of ISU lectures and NAB statewide televised conferences.
- Bound volumes of professional literature related to NAB content areas.
-
- Providing opportunities to share experiences and gain new content
knowledge. Twice a year inservice meetings on the Iowa State University
campus allow teacher/researchers to meet face to face to share their successes
in the classroom. Student art examples shared in these meetings are scanned
and placed on the WWW "Living Curriculum" database, where all
participants can share them.
-
- As another part of these meetings ISU faculty and visiting scholars
continue to give thought provoking slide lectures and presentations to
assembled Teacher/Researchers. These presentations are videotaped and copies
are made available for loan through the NAB Lending Library.
-
- This Cooperative
Empowerment Model empowers each Teacher/Researcher to share their
experience and collectively help all other teachers in the project develop
the best that is professional.
