Books and Art: Binds, Sculptural Work and Pop-up Structures
Over the course of four days, participants will learn how to make many different binds, incorporate found book material into sculptural work and play with pop-up structures. While we address the necessity of content within the technique, the majority of the class will focus on the accurate production of these multiple bindings. Emphasis will be on aesthetic choices of cover material and interior papers.
All students can expect to have strong, tactile examples of the history of binding while becoming increasingly aware of the voice a structure can create in art.

Sculptural Book Arts
The book is not only a form we use to share information, but can be a teaching tool in itself. Participants in this course will work under group and individual instruction to make two sculptural books. Engaging students in Iowa Core subject matter through physical object allows for a deeper understanding of that subject’s relevance and how we share information with others. These structures employ basic arithmetic and geometry skills and can house content related to any subject matter. Participants in this course will experience first hand, the sense of ownership that making an object, especially one that is so essential to education, can lend to many social and cultural topics. They will be shown how to use affordable materials and will be shown techniques that can be adapted for a variety of age and skill-levels.

Standards and Growth in the Music Room
Standards-based, assessment, measuring growth, data! What do these all mean in the music room? In Day 1 of this course we will use music-specific examples to understand standards-based curriculum, assessment, and grading. We will discuss the significance of standards, focused assessment objectives, rubrics, feedback, student reflection, and higher-level thinking in music classes. Work time is allocated (with peer and instructor support) to apply what you’re learning by revising one assessment of musical performance and one assessment music knowledge you currently use in your classroom. In Day 2 we will build on our assessment work to understand how to use it to measure student growth. Together we will study a basic data cycle, then practice various steps in the cycle as Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) using case studies from music classrooms. Work time is allocated, again, to apply what you’re learning by creating a plan for measuring one aspect of student growth in your own classroom.
