Other Leadership/service

ArtsBridge America, UCF Board of Directors/mentor
November 2005 – 2008
|
This national organization, based at Lawrence University, in
Appleton, WI, and established on the UCF Campus by Assistant
Theater Professor, Megan Alrutz, serves as a curricular “bridge”
between the arts and various academic curricula in order to
facilitate learning in public school children, and to bridge the
academic community of UCF with that of our Greater Orlando
community. As a mentor to Artsbridge Scholar and UCF Music
Major, Maria Mathis, I was involved with working with the
principal and the music teacher at Conway Elementary School,
while supporting Maria in her classroom teaching role. The
outcome of Maria’s participation in ArtsBridge helped to improve
the FCAT-driven reading, vocabulary and the information goals
for the entire Conway Elementary third-grade class by means of
an exceptionally well-received musical production, entitled “Dig
It,” about an archeological dig, which involved the entire third
grade faculty, school principal, art teacher and the Conway
community. As an ArtsBridge board member, I worked to increase
the visibility and curricular inclusion of ArtsBridge as a means
of experiential learning, and of town and gown cooperation. |
