DreamYard has built a rich collaboration with PS/MS 306 in District 10 in the North Bronx. DreamYard's programmatic relationship with PS 306 has grown significantly over the last 3 years. This year our Arts Partnership is running 18 in-school classes and 3 After school classes at the school. We have implemented comprehensive in school and after school arts education programs for students in grades K-8. Our school based collaborations are reaching every grade from K-8th grade. Each year DreamYard artists will collaborate with more and more of the PS/MS 306 staff with the goal of developing a common set of expectations when it comes to gauging quality work, this includes: criteria for classroom work, Rubrics for student performance, grade-wide portfolio projects, meaningful evaluative protocol developed with the aid of the Bank Street College and a vital parent program that invites parents to be collaborators in school life. We have a vision for a whole school arts model. No student will graduate from PS 306 without having been deeply involved and actively engaged in the arts.
