3 The Public Schools of Mount Holly Township Burlington County New Jersey Philosophy The performing arts department at the Mount Holly Township schools are designed to increase feelings of accomplishment and selfesteem in all children through the acquisition of skills necessary to perform, create, and thoughtfully evaluate works of art and experiences both on a personal level and part of a large organization. Classroom activities are specifically designed to foster creativity, communication, independent and critical thinking skills in the learner. The Mount Holly Performing Arts Curriculum is based on the New Jersey Core Curriculum Standards for Visual and Performing Arts as follows: Standard 1.1: The Creative Process Standard 1.2: History of the Arts and Culture Standard 1.3: Performance Standard 1.4: Aesthetic Responses and Critique Methodologies. The vocal, instrumental, theater, and dance facets of the total performing arts program offer a wide variety of hands on experiences to enrich the learners educational experience through additional performance opportunities. At every grade level, the general goal of the performing arts program is to develop each student s independent technique through a hands on class situation or performance ensemble experience.
4 New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards for Visual and Performing Arts INTRODUCTION Arts Education in the 21 st Century Creativity is a driving force in the 21st century global economy, with the fastest growing jobs and emerging industries relying on the ability of workers to think unconventionally and use their imaginations. The best employers the world over will be looking for the most competent, most creative, and most innovative people on the face of the earth... This will be true not just for the top professionals and managers, but up and down the length and breadth of the workforce.... Those countries that produce the most important new products and services can capture a premium in world markets... (2007, National Center on Education and the Economy) Experience with and knowledge of the arts is an essential component of the P 12 curriculum in the 21st century. As the state of New Jersey works to transform public education to meet the needs of a changing world and the 21st century workforce, capitalizing on the unique ability of the arts to unleash creativity and innovation in our students is critical for success, as reflected in the mission and vision that follow:
5 Mission: The arts enable personal, intellectual, social, economic, and human growth by fostering creativity and providing opportunities for expression beyond the limits of language. Vision: An education in the arts fosters a population that: Creates, reshapes, and fully participates in the enhancement of the quality of life, globally. Participates in social, cultural, and intellectual interplay among people of different ethnic, racial, and cultural backgrounds through a focus on the humanities. Possesses essential technical skills and abilities significant to many aspects of life and work in the 21st century. Understands and impacts the increasingly complex technological environment. Intent and Spirit of the Visual and Performing Arts Standards The intent and spirit of the New Jersey Visual and Performing Arts Standards builds upon the philosophy and goals of the National Standards for Arts Education. Equitable access to arts instruction is achieved when the four arts disciplines (dance, music, theatre, and visual art) are offered throughout the P 12 spectrum. Thus, the goal of the standards is that all students have regular, sequential arts instruction throughout their P 12 education.
6 The expectation of the New Jersey arts standards is that all students communicate at a basic level in each of the four arts disciplines by the end of fifth grade, using the vocabularies, materials, tools, techniques, and intellectual methods of each arts discipline in a developmentally appropriate manner. Beginning in grade 6, student instruction in the arts is driven by specialization, with students choosing one of the four arts disciplines based on their interests, aptitudes, and career aspirations. By the end of grade 12, students are expected to communicate proficiently in one or more arts disciplines of their choice. By graduation from secondary school, all students should, in at least one area of specialization, be able to: Define and solve artistic problems with insight, reason, and technical proficiency. Develop and present basic analyses of works of art from structural, historical, cultural, and aesthetic perspectives. Call upon their informed acquaintance with exemplary works of art from a variety of cultures and historical periods. Relate various types of arts knowledge and skills within and across the arts disciplines by mixing and matching competencies and understandings in artmaking, history, culture, and analysis in any artsrelated project.
