Four-Year Plan Goals
Goal One: To bolster the existing instrumental music program so that it can become more comprehensive and self-sufficient.
Approach
Goal One: The Music teacher at this school is the lead on the Four-Year Plan since it is only his program that is impacted in Year One. They are currently revising their Four-Year Plan to include theatre arts. The music program is relying heavily on sectional coaching and the purchase of new equipment in Year One. In subsequent years, they would like to produce musical theatre in collaboration with the new theatre teacher as well as include more field trips for students to explore live music presentations.
Arts Partnerships
Goal One: Harmony Project is providing instrumental coaching.
Sustainability Plan
Goal One: The sustainability of this school's Four-Year Plan is embedded in teacher knowledge and training as well as the investment that ETA has made in Adobe software.
