 Art Education Collaborates on New
Program with St. Benedict Academy
This
fall the Institute’s Art Education program partnered with St.
Benedict Academy in
Manchester, to create an eight-week curriculum in art for
pre-kindergarten through eighth grade students. The goal of the program
is to give Institute students pursuing a degree in art education an
opportunity to practice teaching while providing students at St.
Benedict Academy exposure to creativity and lessons in art. These
classes will be the first art classes ever incorporated in St.
Benedict’s curriculum. Suzanne Canali, Art Education
chairperson, connected with St. Benedict Academy’s principal
, Sr. Betty Roy, earlier this year about the details of the
project.” We are so excited to partner with the Institute for
the sake of our children. We, at Saint Benedict Academy, strive to
educate the whole child. All of us will benefit from this partnership:
our students, our teachers, and your future teachers,” Sr.
Betty said. Fifteen art education students will participate from
October 14 through December 2, 2009, at St. Benedict Academy classrooms
on Manchester’s West Side. Institute students spent the first
part of the semester working in groups to develop and implement lesson
plans and studying the development of children in the classroom. The
first four weeks of the program were dedicated to Pre-K through third
grades, and the last four weeks are dedicated to grades fourth through
sixth grades. Each participating Institute student is required to have
a reflection journal to record his or her observations, experiences,
successes and challenges throughout the semester. Journals will provide
helpful information as students navigate the challenges of K-12
educational settings.

many other areas.
Memorial and honorary gifts
are a thoughtful way to remember someone special while helping St.
Benedict Academy.
Most
gifts are by cash (check), but gifts of
stocks and securities
may also be accepted by the school and may also be matched by some
employers.
Planned giving offers
many ways to remember Saint Benedict Academy through bequests and
wills, life insurance, annuities, charitable remainder trusts and other
areas. Contact the school's development office, which can help
