Imperial County, California, 2008-2009Through
a grant from the United States Department of Education, children in elementary
schools across Imperial County created comic books based on their core
content subjects. Their publication, titled California’s Most Creative
was made possible by a Federal Professional Development Arts in Education grant
awarded to Imperial County Office of Education. The Using Sequential Arts (USA)
Project provides teachers with 50 hours of professional development in the
National and California Visual Arts Standards. In-class modeling and coaching is
included as part of the professional development. Teachers engage in learning
about the comic book process, drawing, sequential art, English language
development, core content correlation, and technology. The grant recognizes the
importance of arts and culture in creating educational opportunities, building
community, and promoting creativity into learning.
