I started my PBL training today... Very exciting! My group has decided to develop a lesson that will use the arts and science content standards together. PERFECT for our new Fine Arts Academy. This is going to be really great, and I can't wait to continue the work tomorrow.
The most exciting resources I saw today were www.edutopia.org for some awesome articles, ideas and questions about education, and a FABULOUS video by RSA Animate with a speech by Sir Ken Robinson about the education paradigm shift. It is a longer video, but worth it. You just have to see for yourself!
Check it out on YouTube:

Garner Elementary Fine Arts Academy
When times get tough, the determined get... CREATIVE!!! In response to the intense budget strains that almost closed our campus this year, we have created a very exciting new plan to become a fine arts focused school. It is SO very EXCITING... and tons of work! We will be working hard all summer to prepare our facilities, teachers, and curriculum to open in the 2011-2012 school year as Garner Fine Arts Academy!
