The Art Studio Launches at Long Island City HS
Art + Science = A unique learning experience for all!
Zone 126 and Socrates Sculpture Park officially launched an integrated visual arts curriculum for Long Island City High School, aptly titled "The Art Studio" this week.
More than 350 Long Island City High School (LICHS) students from 10th-12th grade will benefit from this new partnership. During this time, Socrates Sculpture Park will integrate a new education program within LICH's existing curriculum. Called "The Art Studio," the program has been developed to overlap and enhance learning in Advanced Placement courses such as Art History, Biology, Earth Science, and Studio Art. Program titles include "The Body as Landscape", "His/Her Story as My Story," and "In My Landscape, I See Myself." |
| Partner Highlight: NYU ParentCorps |
Parents Get into Character & Share Lessons at ParentCorps
Every Monday, parents at PS 17 have gathered around a table, eager to share stories and exchange strategies for their Pre-K students. Laughter quickly filled the room as parents went around the table discussing how their practice activities were received by their children.
This is ParentCorps,a 14-week program developed by the NYU Langone Medical Center for families of Pre-Kindergarten students and professional development for early childhood educators. The ParentCorps components work together to engage and support entire communities of caregivers and teachers to promote positive home and classroom experiences.
