A new strategy from Hattie's list was Creativity Programs. The effect size of creativity programs are .65. This sparked my interest because I have been working with my team to make an upcoming arts residency at our school a success.
The 6th grade students at my school will have the incredible opportunity to work with local poet, playwright and cultural producer, Saymoukda Vongsay throughout the month of January. Ms. Vongsay will meet with our students in their Social Studies classes to create plays that they will perform periodically throughout the month. Through collaboration with COMPAS, Salk was granted the opportunity for this community cultures theater residency.
I haven't been able to see how this affects my classes, but I will update you on how it went on January 7th, after the first week with the artist.
