MTPS Vision for the Arts and Technology
Our vision for the arts and technology in our district is to create a dynamic and innovative learning environment where every student is empowered to become a curious, creative, and confident problem-solver. We believe that by integrating the principles of arts and technology, we can foster a deeper sense of belonging and equip students with the essential skills they need to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
Content-Area Goals
Visual Arts
From elementary school through high school, we’re committed to fostering a strong foundation in the visual arts. Our youngest students build fine motor skills while exploring their curiosity and expressing themselves. As they grow, we push them to take creative risks and think critically, developing the confidence to approach any challenge with an imaginative mindset.
Media Arts
The media arts classroom is an environment for self-discovery and confidence building. Students have the freedom to experiment and solve problems their own way, fostering a responsible, flexible, and collaborative approach. Through hands-on projects, they learn to communicate their ideas to both small and large audiences.
Performing Arts
Participation in the performing arts builds a strong sense of belonging. We provide a safe and supportive environment for students to be creative while developing their musical and theatrical skills. We are committed to lighting the spark of enthusiasm for the arts, helping students build confidence and express themselves clearly while connecting with an audience.
Technology
We believe our role is to develop students into technologically literate citizens who can use a creative design process to solve real-world problems. By encouraging persistent problem-solving, critical thinking, and collaborative communication, we empower students to be responsible digital citizens who develop imaginative solutions to challenges they encounter.
