Educators created electronic portfolios that documented student growth in both literacy and the arts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn our district, as in many others, arts specialists rarely have opportunities to engage in professional development that\u2019s relevant to them.

It wasn\u2019t a cookie cutter approach, it wasn\u2019t a factory process\u2014it was an individual process. They had to take a lot of time to design and implement the curriculum.

We wanted it to suit their needs. We wanted them not to practice it just around other adults, but see it in practice with kids.

Many of these teachers gave up their planning periods to work with other teacher\u2019s classes to make this happen. And we didn\u2019t tell them that they had to do anything like that.
