Performing Arts Course of Study

Philosophy

The Olentangy Local School District is committed to providing leadership and support services to staff that will facilitate maximum learning for every student. In the pursuit of that commitment, our goal is to use national and state standards as a guide for our performing arts program.

Mapping

Curriculum at Olentangy is developed through a technique called mapping. This three-step process includes any teacher or administrator that would like to participate, the board of education and a representative community committee. The maps are aligned and clearly articulate high expectations for our students. Simply, the maps describe exactly what Olentangy students should know and do in a particular subject at each grade level. The maps are concise (one page per grade level or subject) and easy for any stakeholder to read. The maps are designed this way to allow for greater depth of teaching and student understanding. The maps are the adopted curriculum for the district and guide classroom instruction.
