Student Artists Share Their Learning |
|
Midkota and Devils Lake Central Middle School students participated in the NESC's ConnectEd March lessons led by teaching artists from the ND Council on the Arts. They've shared a few samples of the projects from those sessions, and we couldn't love these more! March arts lessons connected the ND Visual Arts Content Standards with career exploration and community partners.
In addition to Midkota and CMS, recent regional partners in our arts enrichment work have included Langdon, Tate Topa, Mount Pleasant-Rolla, Prairie View, Rolette, and Sweetwater Schools! The range of art skills being displayed is diverse and impressive! The students have explored foundational skills, horizon lines, 3D, cartoons, and more. We are eager to see what the April lessons produce! Thanks to all of the educators who are committing to the ConnectEd program with their students!

Virtual Job Shadow Enhancing Teaching and Learning |
|
Virtual Job Shadow is a college and career exploration and preparation resource available to all NESC Grade 7-12 students and their educators. This robust online platform is available to you FREE OF CHARGE through our regional license.
Staff at Devils Lake and Minnewaukan Schools are incorporating this tool into their work with students as they help them to become Choice Ready. Here's a peek into how they're making the most of this opportunity!
- VJS is incorporated into whole-class and/or small-group career lessons (either as the main feature or as introductory or closing activities)
- Students complete the career cluster/interest survey and review aligned career videos
- VJS has been blended into 21st CCLC programming as a STEM and career exploration resource
