Sawyer Road Elementary School
1st Arts for Learning School
2010-2011
Young Audiences, Woodruff Arts Center is delighted to welcome Sawyer Road Elementary School as our first Arts for Learning Lessons (A4LL) partner school for the 2010-2011 school year. The leadership team at Sawyer Road requested Arts for Learning Lessons as a component of the school's extended-day program. Selected students from grades 3, 4, & 5 will hone their reading, writing and art making skills through the Everyday Heroes unit. The biography of Roberto Clemente and the collage work of Romare Bearden provide a platform for practicing the literacy skills of determining importance and synthesizing.
Teachers from Sawyer Road participated in a day of professional learning held at the Woodruff Arts Center and conducted by Barbara O'Brien, Arts for Learning Program Director. The training experience combined learning theory, assessment strategies and hands-on art activities.
Sawyer Road Elementary School is a member of the Marietta City Schools system and is an International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO). It is also one of seven schools in Georgia selected as a stop on the 18th Annual Bus Trip sponsored by the Georgia Partnership for Excellence in Education.
