AISC welcomes singer-songwriter, Kathryn Claire as our Spring 2015 Artist in Residence!
After a successful residency last year, Kathryn will return for two weeks of teaching and performance. Part of a new generation of traditionally-inspired musicians, Kathryn’s guitar and fiddle-playing exhibit a technical grace which is matched only by her truly captivating voice and her rare ability to move seamlessly across genres. She will be working in elementary, middle, and high school music classes and will conduct after school song-writing workshops with MS/HS students.
Beginning April 13th, Kathryn’s residency will culminate in a Friday@5 concert in association with R.I.S.E. on the 24th of April. Her charismatic presence and infectious smile have made her a favorite at venues and festivals around the world- and we are thrilled to welcome her back to our campus.
Coming Soon...
We will have the E-Portfolio Presentation on 29 April and Three-Way Conferences (student, parent and teacher) on 29 and 30 April. Please remember that students are required to attend these conferences. We will send instructions on how to sign up next week.
With guidance from their teachers, students have been given time in class to create their e-portfolios. It is completely student-driven and student-created. In the next couple of weeks, they will be finalizing their e-portfolios, selecting the work they will share with you and reflecting on why they have chosen these pieces to share.
During this time, it will be a process where students engage in a meaningful dialogue with their family about goals, accomplishments, and learning. The aim of the conference is to encourage students to take responsibility for their learning and share their academic progress with their families. This format gives students the opportunity to:
o Reflect on their academic performance,
o Take accountability for their own work,
o Improve organizational and communication skills,
o Include their parents in their learning experiences,
o Learn to set and achieve realistic goals,
o Take pride in their achievements.
