  teachers build lessons to engage students to take an active role in shaping the future.

These discussions are ways students are exposed to a variety of viewpoints and express their ideas with clarity and precision while learning to act responsibly.

How do we promote growth mindset?

• The art process naturally encourages a growth mindset. Art making is very individualized and, as students grow in skill, the teachers become facilitators and guides in the student motivated process of learning. From the beginning stages, students learn how to become self directed in their own art making processes.
• We believe that all students can learn how to make great art, but that must be paired with a great work ethic and the ability to learn through trial and error.
• “Sometimes failure is a pit stop on the road to success”.
• The Performing Arts easily foster a growth mindset.
• As performers, we believe that there is always room to grow and improve—we are never “done” learning.
• In our classroom, we foster a positive learning environment that allows students to recognize that mistakes are part of the learning process.
• We recognize that the journey which leads to the final performance is equally important as the performance itself.

What sets us apart?

• Our students earn substantial art scholarships (often full scholarships) each year to attend universities and top notch art schools all over the country.
• Our students who take the AP art test score higher than the national average.
• Our teachers are practicing performers who share their own passion and dedication with their students.

  individuals.

• We perform all of our drama productions at The Columbus Performing Arts Center.
• We include middle school students in our pep band and concert band, which allows our students the unique opportunity to act as leaders and share their knowledge and enthusiasm with younger musicians.

Did you know…
…Hartley offers four years of Latin as well as four years of the modern languages, French, Italian, and Spanish; the fourth year is an AP course?
…each level of the modern language curriculum at Hartley covers the six overlapping themes of Advanced Placement courses, which put the language and its culture into meaningful contexts?
…students enrolled in any level of modern language classes become proficient in four skill areas: speaking, listening, reading, and writing?
…we offer Spanish V – Service Learning en Español.

How do we promote growth mindset?

• As a student demonstrates increased proficiency in each of the four individual skills, previous grades that are below minimum proficiency (B-, 80) will be adjusted to the current proficiency level.
• To become proficient in a second language, students must spend as much time as possible using the language; they must participate in class, keep up with daily work, and actively engage in every activity that requires speaking and writing in the language. In addition, students must demonstrate a commitment to gaining proficiency by investing energy and daily effort into these activities.

What sets us apart?

• We emphasize the difference between PERFORMANCE and PROFICIENCY:
• Performance objective: Student can place an order in a restaurant.
• Proficiency objective: Student can place an order in a restaurant and engage in spontaneous conversation
  with the restaurant server about today’s current events.
