Open Educational Resource (OER) LMS course to support the computer science instructional efforts at the middle schools. Teaching resources include video lessons, practice activities, and assessment that are  organized and aaligned to the 6-grade computer science standards of learning. 

Science Instructional Plans (SIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Science Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the content and the scientific and engineering practices found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

This game provides accountability and some fun when it comes to rehearsing your ensemble. Using a digital whiteboard or slidedeck, create a Battleship board game that represents each instrument group (can be applied to Band, Orchestra or Choir). Students then take turns “firing” at different sections. Teachers and students are encouraged to provide feedback to sections after each “hit” or “miss” to encourage growth and improvement.

Students will take segments of their recorded performances to create an acting reel that demonstrates physical and vocal techniques for theatre performance.

Students will explore available assistive technologies, including how they have been utilized by the professional theatre community to create and present inclusive theatrical productions for those with special physical, mental, visual, auditory, and other sensory needs.

Through Carnegie Hall Listening Adventures, students participate in an interactive digital experience to learn instrument families and specific instruments of the orchestra. Using Benjamin Britten’s Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra, students follow a safari theme to find instruments, listen for correct pitches, and classify instruments based on physical characteristics as well as sound.

Video clips of performance and/or production techniques covered in class allow students to pause, repeat, and access content on-demand as needed for review, remediation, make-up work, and/or enrichment. Students can assist in the development of technique videos by identifying skills they are strong at demonstrating, recording a short “how-to” video, and adding it to a class library of learning media.
