Lessons in the Spotlight—Using the Art Critique Process to Strengthen Teaching and Learning

Artists use the critique process to get feedback about their work, anticipate audience responses, and make adjustments and improvements to their work. While teachers exercise their creativity every day creating lessons and units of study, they rarely get to share their products with peers and other professionals. Whether you are looking for fresh ideas or simply want to support your peers, join us for this lively critique featuring visual art and arts-integrated lessons by selected Chicago area teachers. Using a rubric developed by local education experts, a panel of peer teachers, museum educators, and guest artists will lead the discussion with audience participation.

=Program Structure= Lessons in the Spotlight uses the Tuning Protocol, a facilitated process to support educators in sharing their students' work and, with colleagues, reflecting upon the lessons embedded there. This collaborative reflection helps educators to design and refine their assessment systems, as well as to support higher quality student performance. Below is a PDF describing the tuning protocol in greater depth.

The tool we use is the Tuning Protocol developed by Joseph McDonald, David Allen, and others; the National School Reform Faculty (NSRF), which grants permission for its use.


 * Overview:** This is the classic protocol upon which most of the others are based. It is also the most frequently used protocol for examining student work. The Tuning Protocol features time for the presenter to talk while participants are silent, and time for the participants to talk while the presenter is silent. It provides three levels of depth: presentation, participant discussion, and presenter reflection, finalized by a general debriefing that can extend the conversation.
