Action Plan Summary• Red highlights indicate sub categories of the action plan that
were not achieved. • With the addition of Common Core Training this year, school
professional development time was not available for school wide arts integration training and sharing.
• It is becoming more difficult to find new schools to visit that use arts integration and are in the same demographics. I think I might remove it from the action plan.
• We did not create an arts integration page on the school web site. Next year, we anticipate getting a technology coach and I hope to achieve an arts integration page next year.
•Monica Forrester and William Cathell have each uploaded their documents to Wikispaces.
