I have a clear summary of the NCAS framework, philosophy, and goals organized in the summarizing matrix below. With this in my classroom, I can to monitor student progress, organize assessment data, and plan or replan instruction as needed. I want this graphic organizer to be visible to all stakeholders in my classroom throughout the year. I want it to serve as a self-assessment tool for the students learning activities as well as for my own instruction and curriculum planning. I want it to inform students of the growth and achievement they've accomplished throughout the school year. What will this look like?
The model I have in mind right now is the Daily 5 Framework paired with the CAFE System (Boushey & Moser, 2014). Together, these are a commonly used literacy program in American home room classrooms today. These two frameworks work together to grow students' literacy and graphically aid in monitoring, assessing, and planning their literacy growth throughout each grade level. They are comprehensive, progressive, and visual to all stakeholders throughout the year. Since much of the artistic literacy principles of NCAS parallel or mirror the Common Core literacy standards (Coleman, 2014), I feel the Daily 5 Framework and CAFE System are quality models to use in structuring a well-organized artistic literacy framework to be used for monitoring, assessing, and planning student achievement throughout the school year.
