Description:
In this workshop, we will explore the history behind Pablo Picasso and Cubism and create your own Cubist Style Art to

looked like. His development of Cubism is said to be the most crucial development in art since the invention of perspective.
Picasso fragmented the images he painted, so that the viewer could see the subject from many angles simultaneously;
allowing the essence of the image to be shown rather than simply a copy of it.

On January 8, 2015, the State Board of Education approved the 2014 Fine Arts Curriculum Framework for instruction in
visual art, music, theatre, and dance for Grades K-12. The new framework will be implemented in Arkansas schools in the
2015-16 school year. ADE is offering a full day of professional development supporting the new framework . The goal of this
professional development opportunity is to provide fine arts teachers with an understanding of the curriculum shifts required
by the new framework as well as new opportunities the framework makes available. These one-day trainings will target
teachers from each of the four disciplines. Each training will begin with a joint session for all fine arts teachers covering
common issues such as the National Core Arts Standards, disciplinary literacy, and state requirements for arts education.
Breakout sessions in individual disciplines of music, visual art, and theater and dance will follow, and teachers will unpack
discipline-specific frameworks and participate in cross-walking and lesson planning . A team of facilitators (one in each
discipline) will provide the instruction.

244175 - 244177 DSC Analyzing DIBELS DATA to make Instructional Decisions
Audience(s):
Description:
Dynamic Indicators of Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS, 6th Edition and DIBELS Next) comprise a set of procedures and
measures for assessing the acquisition of early literacy and reading skills from kindergarten through sixth grade. These
measures allow teachers to assess student development of phonological awareness, letter knowledge, decoding, fluency,
and comprehension. In addition, DIBELS/DIBELS Next measures are measures of fluency and automaticity of each skill.
By looking at students’ success rates on the DIBELS/DIBELS Next measures, teachers can interpret the effectiveness of
classroom instruction, identify students who are at risk for difficulties with literacy acquisition , and plan accordingly.
Participants will learn how to interpret DIBELS/DIBELS Next scores and plan their next instructional steps toward moving
students to proficiency in the foundational skills they must acquire in order to be successful readers.

and operations on vectors, both graphically and in component form. We will apply slope concepts and complex numbers
concepts from algebra, and translation concepts in geometry to vector concepts in physics, pre-calculus, and advanced
topics and modeling with mathematics courses. As we explore vectors, we will address the following major concepts:
· Identifying vector components from an initial and terminal point;
· Applying the associative, commutative, and additive inverse property to vectors;
· Applying scalar multiplication and expressing the result geometrically and in component form ;
· Vector addition (in component form, triangle models, and parallelogram models); and
· Vector subtraction (in component form, adding a negative vector, and missing addend model)

Description:
In an effort to start thinking about life after high school at an earlier age , ATS has developed a presentation for middle school

244540 - 244545 DSC Bits & Pieces: Developing an Understanding of Fractions (GR 3–6)
Audience(s): 3-5,6,ParaProfessionals
Description:
This 6-day institute (4 summer days with 2 follow-up days in the fall) is comparable to Teachers Development Group’s
Extending Children’s Mathematics Institute (also known as ECM or CGI for upper elementary). This is a description from
their registration brochure:
Extending Children’s Mathematics was developed by the Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI) research and development
group to extend the ideas of CGI to third through sixth grade students. Over twenty-five years of CGI research has shown
that students learn with un¬derstanding if and only if new concepts are connected to what they already know. This Institute
is devoted to studying how students’ learning of computation with large numbers , fractions, decimals and algebraic
think¬ing can be connected to what they already understand about whole number operations. What teachers learn in this
institute enhances how they use any curriculum or resource materials.
In this Institute you will learn to:
•Analyze the connections between whole number operations and fractions, decimals, and algebra
•Assess your students’ understanding of these concepts
•Design problems to build the bridge between students’ current understanding and your specific learning goals
•Facilitate the discussion of mathematical ideas in a manner that engages all learners at the same time as it encourages
the development of more sophisticated understanding
Participants will each receive a free copy of the book Extending Children’s Mathematics : Fractions and Decimals by Susan
Empson and Linda Levi, director of Teachers Development Group (TDG). Days 5-6 of this institute will be determined on the
final day of the summer session.

Audience(s):
Description:
Do you need any tools to help you with collecting behavioral data?
Data collection is collecting specific information about a student's performance. Typically we think of this in terms of
academic performance. But what a about data collection needed for behavior performance measurement? What do we do
then?
This workshop will give the participant guidance on:
*How to determine the best data collection method based on the type of behavior being measured
*Using a data collection guide which provides an explanation of each type of data collection method and how to summarize
data
*Basic information for preparing a behavior graph

Description:
If you have read the Common Core State Standards for high school mathematics and the Standards for Mathematical
Practice, you have likely noticed proof is emphasized more than has been in the recent past. Course participants will
investigate the big ideas of proof and proving as they relate to Geometry in High School.
This course is designed to address the following questions :
*How, when, and where should proof be taught in High school Geometry?
*What forms of proof should students be able to use (two-column or other)? i.e What should a proof look like?
*How is proof affected by the definitions of similarity and congruence in terms of transformations ?
*What are some useful strategies for teaching proof and reasoning?
*How can I assess the proof and reasoning ability of students?
