Our Principal
Glenview and Other OUSD Representatives
Visit Chicago Arts Program – CAPE
|
|
Principal Deitra Atkins, Glenview 2nd grade teacher –
Linda Morgan, and Glenview’s MILE teacher Alison Streich
were among an identified group of fifteen arts leaders from
OUSD, Alameda County Department of Education, and Oakland
Community that went to see the Chicago Arts Partnerships
for Education (CAPE) program.
|
About fifteen years ago CAPE began working with Chicago
Public Schools to develop a sequential arts program making
use of community partners and certificated arts specialists
working in the schools. The partnership uses highly integrated
strategies to leverage learning in more than one content
area. CAPE work looks at quality arts integration in a system/district
environment – drawing on relationships between community
arts partners, arts specialists and a school district to
rethink teaching and learning relationships so that every
child learns at high levels.
During walk-through visits, our bay area
representatives found that many of the activities seen in
Chicago CAPE schools are also taking place in many Oakland
schools. It was a valuable visit that has broadened Oakland’s
network base and validated work that is going on in our
school.
