KEC is the Place to Be!
KEC is not only a pathway to middle college and a medical magnet. We also are a school for the arts! We strive to educate students differently. Through Arts Integration and Project-Based Learning, students have a path to think critically and learn deeply! Student should expect to be challenged!

Art Gets Right to the Heart of Learning!
The arts are not something that can be cut when the budget gets tight. They are an essential way of learning. By presenting the world through the lens of ART, we activate engagement, imagination and innovation! Students are not just an empty slate waiting to be filled with knowledge! Busy work will not help them grow! Instead they need to interact with materials! They need to create in order to own the learning presented to them. In short, they need art!

I believe that art should be integrated into all of my curriculum! Whether we are in the classroom or learning from home, art is important. If you click on an object in the classroom, it will take you to an art slideshow! At the beginning of each unit we will analyze a piece of art to see what we can learn from it!

Did you know that literacy is no longer only reading, writing, speaking, and listening? The 21st century image/media rich age we live in demands that we also include viewing as an equal component of literacy. We typically think of students constructing understanding by reading and listening while demonstrating understanding through writing and speaking. We now know that visual literacy is equally important! VTS helps to teach this important skill! |
