Write-On Arts (WOA) is an arts integrated program that links hands-on experiences in creating and performing in the visual and theater arts with key language arts concepts to improve and expand the learning experience for students in low-income environments. WOA is a partnership between Dramatic Results (DR), an award-winning, community-based, non-profit educational arts agency and Long Beach Unified School District (LBUSD), the third largest school district in California. Based on the success of our 2003 and 2006 AEMDD Math in a Basket grants, our objectives in 2010 are to test the longitudinal impact of engagement with WOA on students’ academic performance in both art and reading from 2nd to 4th grade, and to increase local capacity in Title I schools by improving the quality and frequency of high quality arts-based instruction by generalist classroom teachers.
Proposed Project Outcomes: Student Outcomes: (1) 70% of the participating students will demonstrate "Proficient" or above in their knowledge and skill in creating, performing and responding to the arts as taught through the WOA curriculum and relative to National and California Visual and Performing Arts Content Standards; (2) 70% will evidence increased self-efficacy in reading, compared to a control group; and (3) WOA students will demonstrate a greater increase in the percentage that score "Proficient" or above on the California STAR reading scores from year to year compared to a control group. Teacher Outcomes: (1) 80% of participating teachers will acquire the knowledge, skills and self-efficacy needed to implement the full WOA curriculum; (2) 80% will integrate arts instruction with the teaching of other core subjects at least once a week during the school year; (3) 80% will evidence a statistically significant increase in their knowledge and skill in creating, performing and responding to the arts relative to the National and California Visual and Performing Arts Content Standards; and (4) 80% will evidence a statistically significant increase in skill and self-efficacy in teaching in and through the arts, relative to National and California Visual and Performing Arts Content Standards.
The WOA program evaluation will be conducted by staff from the Griffin Center for Inspired Instruction. They will be using the Teaching with the Arts Survey (TWAS).TWAS will be administered annually to participating and control group teachers to capture incremental changes in knowledge, skills, and practice. Beyond providing a measure of change in sustained teacher practice, the annual surveys will evidence where the WOA program is most effective in increasing arts integration, and where it needs to be revised as the intervention proceeds.
