 * Residency Schedule and Progress Report
 * Camille, although unable to attend, posed the question, how can we better involve building specials teachers more during residencies?
 * It is important for residency artists to provide residency schedules for all to access via the project wikispace. For those who are unfamiliar with wikispaces, they can email their schedules to ArtsErie who will make sure they are posted on the project wikispace.
 * Any changes to the residency schedule should be reported by the artist to ArtsErie and the AIA Specialist/Bridge.
 * April 11th In-Art Training at CSES
 * Congratulations to the CSES faculty who presented their graduate course work! It was a great evening with great feedback from all participants!
 * April 19th Visual Expressions
 * UCES, SDES and CSES were all invited to attend the 7:30 performance of Hua Hua’s Visual Expressions at EUP. Approximately 50 students, parents and faculty attended the show.
 * Technology & Documentation
 * The second technology trainings are complete, and the feedback has been great. Camille structured the program in such a way that each participant was able to make the most of the experience. Many registered to become contributors to the wikispace, while others spent several minutes reviewing what other teachers have been doing with wikispaces.
 * Project Evaluation
 * With residencies in-progress, so too is the classroom observation schedule. All pre-residency observations have been completed for those classrooms where the teacher has signed the Informed Consent Form. Post-residency observations have started and will continue through May. All eight control classroom observations at Maplewood Elementary School are scheduled.
 * SurveyMonkey is being used to distribute several assessment tools, including the artist and teacher attitude surveys.
 * We have yet to find 2 CSES teachers who will consent to being part of the project evaluation for the visual arts residency. Patti F. has agreed to ask her 2nd and 3rd grade teachers for two volunteers. If they do not volunteer, the evaluation will proceed without this data.
 * Fall 2011 Graduate Class
 * Rosemary would like to create a list of UCES teachers/faculty and artists who are interested in taking her graduate course next school year. Two artists signed up at the April 11th training, and then the list was taken to UCES. Joyce will give her staff until April 29th to sign up and then the list will be returned to ArtsErie. Rosemary is hoping to schedule a time in April/May when she can talk to UCES faculty/staff about the course.
