Description: Blowing Off STEAM uses arts exploration and digital technology to equip students with the ability to effectively manage conflict. Whether due to issues at home, in school, or both, students are increasingly exhibiting deficiencies in their social and emotional skills. Chief among these is an inability to self-regulate their behavior when faced with conflict. The resulting displays of destructive behavior and violence, fueled by an inability to cope or redirect feelings of frustration, are not only detrimental to individual students but negatively affect the classroom learning environment as a whole.
Blowing Off STEAM is a six-week performing and digital arts program that follows a performance-discussion- workshop model. On day one, participants engage in an interactive performance led by two professional artists who showcased real and fictional situations of destructive behavior. Through the eyes of the artists, students can see the impact of these situations and have the opportunity to reflect and ask questions. This open discussion launches the Blowing Off STEAM teaching artist residency. Students work with artists in weekly workshops to expand upon the ideas of managing conflict and self-regulation through the creation of arts projects. Blowing Off STEAM provides multiple opportunities for learning technological skills through the arts. Each lesson utilizes digital technology such as podcasting and recording arts.

Mr. Evert also offers Professional Development workshops for teachers throughout Ohio. Presented in collaboration with the Center for Arts-Inspired Learning. CMSD Vendor List: Yes – contact CAL
Description: This is a highly successful arts - integrated learning activity that has garnered remarkable results in state testing scores (as much as 40% improvement at Arbor Elementary in Euclid and at Washington DC’s Art and Tech Academy everybody in the third grade got an A in the geometry portion of their test.) Students have fun as they are involved in movement activities that develop their understanding of the art of dance and the academic content standards for Geometry. There is an amazing parallel between the human body and geometry in that the bones create lines and the joints create angles.
We put geometry in motion in order to create parallel and intersecting lines, understand that degrees are measured with a circle and used to create acute, right and obtuse angles and further this understanding to create 2 and 3 dimensional shapes. We also incorporate ‘stretchy bands’ that students can manipulate and demonstrate their understanding. We work creatively as we move through space feeling good about ourselves and interacting with others while using our kinesthetic, spatial, musical, and mathematical intelligences. Students love it. Through a residency of 4 or more meetings the activities can be assembled into a show and shared with the school community. Using the body with focused feeling and attention to express geometric lines and angles is engaging and nurtures deep and lasting learning. Upper grades can scaffold up with activities that present formulas for perimeter and area.

Description: Fun, deep learning, and creative movement activities integrate very well with the learning objectives of the physical science standards. Objects and dancers can move in variety of ways, such as straight, zigzag, circular and back and forth. The motion of an object is affected by the force of pushing and pulling. Experimentation and investigation of different ways to change the motion of objects (our bodies) provide creative opportunities for students and provide lively and engaging activities. Grade two scaffolds up to changes in force applied and the forces of gravity and magnets. We carefully consider how we are doing things as we participate in the art of dance and develop discipline, focus and cooperation.

Description: Dancing Classrooms Northeast Ohio is a 10-week, 20-session social development program for 5th and 8th grade children that utilizes ballroom dancing as a vehicle to change the lives of not only the children who participate in the program, but also of the teachers and parents who support these children. Dancing Classrooms is not about teaching ballroom dance; rather, dance is the tool used to help students break down social and cultural barriers. As a social development program, Dancing Classrooms engages students through ballroom dance, teaching them teamwork, self-confidence, tolerance, and respect. The program also promotes health and wellness, and provides a creative outlet for students through dance, art, poetry, writing, and music.
Dancing Classrooms is structured so that participating 5th and 8th grade students must work collaboratively with all classmates, regardless of their differences. Ballroom dance provides the perfect "tool" because of its nature; without the use of teamwork, acceptance, and respect, it is difficult to achieve the steps being presented. The students rise to the occasion, learning to interact appropriately with everyone they encounter. Students never have a permanent dance partner; partners are rotated frequently to expand the number of peers with which each student must learn to interact in a respectful and meaningful way.
Additional Information: We offer a gratis Professional Development experience for all schools implementing the program.

Description: Groundworks teaching artists strive to support and enhance social-emotional growth through creative movement and kinesthetic learning. Students will create new connections and explore deep understanding through creative movement, experiential learning, and physical embodiment. There is a common belief that you never forget how to ride a bike – and it’s true. Once you have learned something through physical internalization, the memory of that information lives in you. By teaching our students social-emotional skills through their minds AND bodies, we are implementing the same strategy. The program introduces the basic tools and terms of dance through activities structured to increase curiosity, creative problem solving, communication, teamwork, trust, and respect. Customize the program to your students by selecting from our list SEL goals including body literacy, body autonomy, decision making, recognizing emotions physically, relaxation, self-regulation, and more!

Description: Roots of American Music presents: People on the Move, a program designed by ROAM for elementary-aged school children to learn about, understand, and reflect on the ways that people of different races, backgrounds and cultures, came to the United States and settled throughout the country. The central themes of People on the Move are immigration and migration, and how people from many countries have made the United States the country it is today. Key to this program will be the use of American Roots music integrated into the social studies curriculum to create a long-lasting and meaningful approach to the learning of history and culture. People on the Move answers the question “Where did we come from?”, and helps students understand that almost everyone was an immigrant at some point in history.
The curriculum for People on the Move will combine songs, stories, and instruments to bring the story of Cleveland migration and immigration to life. The music also will provide a multi-modal strategy for teaching concepts, so that the curriculum will be accessible to a wide spectrum of learners: gifted, typically developing or having special learning needs.

Early Childhood Visual Art Residency – Pre-K – 2nd Grade Our comprehensive Pre-K–Grade 2 visual arts curriculum supports differentiated student learning styles, builds upon teachers’ skill sets, and increases parent involvement. Professional artists collaborate with teachers to design sequential, age-appropriate art lessons that focus on the process of creating. Art experiences may be linked to classroom curriculum, giving students the opportunity to demonstrate what they are learning by using visual forms of expression. Students will develop cognitive, physical, social, and emotional skills while learning new vocabulary and concepts while creating art during the 16-week residency.
In-School Artist Residency – Pre-Kindergarten – 8th grade Offering flexible programming based on school and district needs, classrooms become dedicated art studios where drawing, painting, printmaking, collage, sculpture, 2-D applied design, and media-tech learning are sequenced to develop benchmarked art skills. Studio will work with you to implement programs that provide teaching and support, ranging from 2 to 4 days a week over 16 weeks.
Visual Arts Integrated Residency with Math and/or ELA – 3rd – 8th Grade
58
In this artist residency students are engaged in art experiences to help leverage learning in other core curriculum areas of ELA and Math. Using an integrated approach, students are able to construct and demonstrate their understanding through the making of art. This process connects the various disciplines and addresses authentic learning objectives in each subject area. Studio will work with you to implement programs that provide teaching and support that include a combination of arts integrated lessons with Math and/or ELA learning over the course of the 16 week residency.
Additional Information: At Studio Institute (Studio), we believe in the power of art to enrich learning and provide opportunities for experiences that encourage discovery, skill development, and exploration through the visual arts. Since 1977, Studio in a School Association (SIAS) has provided visual arts programs, bringing nearly 700 trained artists into classrooms as educators for over one million students. SIAS formed Studio Institute (Studio) in 2016 to develop programs and partnerships in other cities. Studio’s programs are an excellent way to bring a robust visual arts curriculum into Pre-K through 8th grade environments. Through a variety of programs, Studio artists work collaboratively with teachers to make meaningful connections to the curriculum and support students’ creative, intellectual growth.

Ready To Go In-School 48 - THEATER Program Title: Sankofa
Cost: $5,000 (6-week); $10,000 (12-week).
Contact: Tender Hearts Crusades Inc. Obadiah Baker, President (216) 333-5063 (877) 320-2228 ext. 1 [email protected]
Time: 6-12 weeks (1-2 days per week); 1-2 hours per session Grades: Grades 6-12 Number of Students: 15-30 students per session Number of Presenters: 3 Special: African drums (included) and a medium to large classroom or music room with chairs CMSD Vendor List: Yes
Description: Sankofa—Tracing ancestral roots is not always a simple feat, especially for African Americans. In fact, an article published in 2015 in the Daily Beast notes that, “Black Americans have always had that natural American desire that is a yearning for a connectedness to an ancestral homeland that can enhance our American narrative of success and survival. But when we search for that foreign connection, we inevitably will fall short (“African Americans Can’t Go ‘Home’”, 2015).” In the Akhan culture, preserving the past to progress forward is most important and symbolized in the word Sankofa. At Tender Hearts Crusades, Sankofa is an OST program in partnership with the Karamu House that teaches youth about African history and culture using the arts and STEM, or STEAM. Here, students choose from classes in African drumming, dance, theater, sewing, science (i.e. studying DNA), and reading. This program teaches students to think critically and use the arts and technology in creative approaches to solve real-world problems while building on students' mathematics and science base.
Sankofa’s theater program, partnered with the Cleveland Public Library, helps students recreate and relive the African experience through blocking and dramatic expression. Through storytelling, students engage in meaningful and interactive drama and reading sessions that are fun and increase literacy in schools. This experience promotes increased enjoyment of literature and changes in literacy practices among families and
59
members of the broader community. Therefore, Sankofa is an emotional journey for students as we challenge them to trace their African roots through research, experiments, and creative solutions.
Additional Information: Students will attend a DNA workshop at the Great Lakes Science Center and families will have an opportunity to take a DNA test through Ancestry.com.

Can a CMSD school apply for a Neighborhood Connections grant? No, a CMSD school cannot apply for a Neighborhood Connections grant directly. CMSD employees – administrators, staff, faculty, district employees – cannot lead an initiative that gets funded by Neighborhood Connections. But read on for important information on how school communities may get funding from Neighborhood Connections. Students, parents, and neighborhood associations that are connected to a CMSD school can apply to do projects in the school community and have been funded before for their work in and out of schools. Neighborhood Connections has funded programs for school gardens, music and the arts for children, additional education opportunities, projects by student-parent organizations, and initiatives by students. (Note: by neighborhood association, we mean any informal network of people who come together on their own free time to better their community – block clubs, neighborhood associations, arts collectives, etc.) Below are some key points to remember when students, parents, and/or a community group applies for Neighborhood Connections funding:
The project needs to be led by students, parents, and/or a neighborhood association; There must be at least three people in the organizing group; The project cannot be for individual classrooms; The CMSD must serve in a supportive or in a partnering role, not as the lead organization – not driving the initiative; The project must meet the following criteria: It is created and implemented by “everyday people” – students, parents, residents of the neighborhood, and/or a neighborhood association; The project connects to and leverages some of the assets in the community: individuals (students, parents, faculty, staff, administrators), neighborhood associations, institutions (non-profits like community development corporations, settlement houses, arts institutions, etc.), the physical world (using a gym, room, land – space); the local economy (local businesses, makers), and the neighborhood culture (stories, history, food, music); It builds self-efficacy of the community. People leading it and, hopefully participants, build their own skills, learn new tools, and build confidence to make change; It builds positive energy in the community;
About the Neighborhood Connections grants: · Funds are between $500 to $5000; · Funds need to be matched by in-kind donations and/or cash (by connecting to the assets); · Only one proposal may be submitted per school community per grant round; · Only one proposal may be funded per school community per year; · All grant decisions are made by a resident led committee of 24 Cleveland and East Cleveland residents. · For more information, please call 216.361.0042 or visit www.neighborupcle.org.
