Course Syllabus

 

Welcome to Module 5 - ACTOS Arts Integration Culturally Responsive Arts Learning Across the Curriculum Tied to Common Core K-8, an online course for educators to familiarize themselves with the ACTOS Arts Integration Pedagogy.

Badged Courses serve two purposes:

  • to provide online options for the teachers (i.e. time, pace, and path).
  • to personalize the learning (provide multiple entry points, focus on choice-based professional learning, matching the skill levels and content areas of the teachers).

Badging Information:

Online Content: This website houses the content of the course. There are multiple modules, each module includes assignments that introduce the topic, with linked articles, videos, and web-tool suggestions. Tasks that require submission of work, as well as sample submissions, are included on the page. Refer to the provided rubric in this syllabus for grading criteria.

Quality of Submitted Work: Review your submissions before uploading them. We expect the submissions to include proper spelling, capitalization, punctuation, usage, and word choice. Additionally, check that all included links are properly hyperlinked and are appropriately directed to live and current webpages.

Grading: All submissions receive a pass or no-pass grade. A no-pass grade will include a detailed explanation and suggestions to what is needed to receive a passing grade. As this course is self-paced, there are no due dates, so no need to worry about late work. Contact the facilitator if there is some reason that the modules cannot be completed in a timely manner. All work will receive full credit if done in accordance with the rubric. Grading will occur at least once a week, and it is recommended that participants continue to submit work even though there may be ungraded assignments.

All copyright laws must be adhered to, including the citing of sources.

Shared Work: Excellent examples of work submitted as evidence may be shared with a broader community. If you prefer not to have your work shared, email your facilitator to opt out.  In order to comply with online safety protocols, be sure you have permission to use student photos and do not include any personally identifiable student information.
