To ensure optimum student comprehension and practical application of the UBU SEL-Arts curriculum of HOPE, RESILIENCE, SELF-COMPASSION, and EMPATHY, all UBU Project Performing Arts Integration Residencies are a minimum of one week and can easily be expanded to additional weeks as requested and negotiated.
Every UBU SEL-Arts residency is based upon the principles of Adapted Socratic Seminar and is designed to increase student meta-cognition of the subject matter at hand through an interactive process which is,
Student-led
Group-focused
Community Building
Project-based
Goal-oriented
Arts-infused
Data-Driven
In preparation for your UBU SEL-Arts residency, you will have the opportunity to meet with your UBU Project Teaching Artist and support staff to ensure that your students' experience is tailored to the specific curriculum needs, goals, community, and culture of your school.
Your UBU Project Teaching Artist arrives with all they need to lead your 5-day UBU SEL-ARTS Residency. All we ask of our partner schools and organizations are;
a roomful of students and a full-size whiteboard
(students will need note-taking supplies: spiral notebook and writing utensil or school-approved form of a digital device)
UBU teaching artist begins the interactive process of discussing the UBU SEL-Arts Treasure Chest Words with all students. These "treasure words" will serve as the foundation of your UBU Social/Emotional Learning Curriculum for the week:
HOPE, RESILIENCE, SELF-COMPASSION, EMPATHY
Your UBU Teaching Artist will continue to facilitate the ongoing, interactive classroom discussion on hope, resilience, self-compassion, and empathy. This engaging conversation will also include your students learning the skills to co-create their own original song lyrics based upon one or more of The UBU SEL Treasure Chest Words.
And remember: No Performing Arts Experience is Needed!
The UBU Project specializes in working with students from every level of experience, comfort, and skill set: from absolute beginners to advanced practitioners!
The students and teaching artist practice their performing arts pieces a few times to increase student comfort level, sense of community, and skill. Then, the kids share their co-created song with either each other, the other classrooms of their grade level, or an invited “audience” of school admin, staff, parents, and volunteers.
Since most UBU SEL-ARTS Residency classrooms are not specifically performing arts-oriented we place our emphasis on creating a safe space where every voice and level of experience and comfort are honored and heard.
As one of our partner school counselors put it,
“At the end of the week, the students not only get to know the social-emotional skills they need. They also have a new (performing arts) skill that builds their self-esteem and helps them give voice to the struggles of their hearts in a hopeful, compassionate, and empathic way.”
