A MOVEMENT FOR EDUCATION
A Proposal put together by Rebecca Tacosa Gray for Oprah Winfrey, fully copyrighted by U.S. Mail
I REQUIRE WRITTEN REQUEST FOR THIS PROPOSAL TO BE USED. SEE "AN ANGEL'S INTENT" TO THE LEFT...REBECCA TACOSA GRAY
PURPOSE:
To facilitate learning in the schools by beautification of the learning environments and intergration of Arts within the separate disciplines. To integrate Theatre and Performance Arts within the English classes (Students performing poems, readings, with focus on learning to present one's self as well as evaluation of a text, poem, or play focusing on character development.) The integration of Theatre Arts will teach students how to step into other people's shoes, as well as lend a richer view to the natural reading experience.
GENERAL IDEAS: ENVIRONMENT:
To have a pilot schools wherein the classrooms are more homelike, comfortable learning environments. Still the same chairs and seats, but long, low bench “window” seats (with storage inside), with cushions on top for children to sit and read in a comfortable fashion during reading periods. The same rules would still apply, no talking, or back to the basic classroom seats.
LIGHTING:
Lamps, beautiful lamps, to be added to the room to improve lighting and add more beauty. The classrooms I’ve experienced have lighting that’s generally poor and hard on the eyes. So having both fluorescents and regular lighting would make a huge difference.
ARTWORK:
This is vitally important. For all classrooms to have framed artwork, a wall that is fireproofed and has clear, fireproofed enclosure so that student’s artwork can be posted and seen. Each classroom should have artwork that pertains to the subject matter. We are losing Arts in the schools, and we are losing them fast. Artwork is vital for development of children’s natural propensity for beauty, and is something that can contribute greatly to the love of the subject. Possibly a mural on one wall. Rooms beautifully painted.
A PATRIOT'S COMPUTER:
A computer to put in the Libraries, or in the classrooms, that is devoted specifically to learning about the U.S. Goverment, U.S. History, and should teach children about believing in themselves, and about Honor. The Home Page should scroll throught the U.S. Constitution, line by line, before students can log on, thus children will memorize our Constitution. Also, it should teach about our states, their capitols, their state flowers, etc. A learning tool meant to bring love of our country together with an Artistic view that will enchant their minds and teach them U.S. History.
CONCLUSION: Our schools are constantly losing the Arts, and we need to find a way to integrate the Arts into our learning programs that contributes to the learning experience. It is pertinent that we understand that the value of beauty is inestimable, and that learning is a beautification process by which we craft our own lives and life paths. Once children realize that their learning experiences can be fashioned with love and beauty at their sides, the schools will have great success making them understand that the learning process is what is important, and that higher grade scores will follow naturally.
