The
Arts
|
|
The Arts are creative
expressions using sound, image and movement as a means to satisfy the human
need to create and communicate thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. The Arts,
which include visual arts, music, theatre and dance, are essential to a
well-balanced school curriculum aligned with the state Essential Learnings.
The purpose of the Arts in Blaine School District is to ensure that
students will experience creative processes, recognize aesthetic qualities
and effectively communicate knowledge of The Arts. Our goal is for students to become
lifelong learners with the confidence and ability to make informed and
creative decisions within a culturally diverse environment.
The Arts provide avenues for
self-discovery, integrating academic pursuits with creative and intuitive
thinking and production of creative works of art.

Technology

The primary goal
of technology use in the Blaine
School District is to
increase student achievement in all content areas. The integration of
technology into classroom teaching will provide learning experiences that
are highly interactive and subject appropriate.
Students and staff
will have access to appropriate technology resources to research, analyze,
problem solve, and synthesize. Blaine
School District will
provide students with opportunities to use technology applications for
pursuing knowledge and producing outcomes. Our aim is to develop technology
and information literate citizens. Students and staff will understand the applications of technology both
for learning and for use in the workplace.
