00:00:00.130 --> 00:00:07.540
Would you explain to us who you are, what
you do for a living, and talk about 21st Century

2
00:00:07.540 --> 00:00:08.540
Skills.

3
00:00:08.540 --> 00:00:09.540
Okay.

4
00:00:09.540 --> 00:00:10.540
And my name is Rob Stein.

5
00:00:10.540 --> 00:00:16.200
I’m the Deputy Director for Research Technology
and Engagement at the Indianapolis Museum

6
00:00:16.200 --> 00:00:17.349
of Art.

7
00:00:17.349 --> 00:00:26.829
And regarding 21st Century Skills and Training,
we run a program funded by IMLS called the

8
00:00:26.829 --> 00:00:34.580
View Finders, pre-service, and in-service,
which works with educators in a number of

9
00:00:34.580 --> 00:00:41.550
schools around Indianapolis and open universities
who are being trained as educators, and teaches

10
00:00:41.550 --> 00:00:45.890
them a particular message of Visual Thinking
Strategies, VTS.

11
00:00:45.890 --> 00:00:54.010
VTS is a tool or technique of conversation
that helps students develop critical thinking

12
00:00:54.010 --> 00:00:56.620
skills as they connect with works of art.

13
00:00:56.620 --> 00:01:03.610
So the pre-service in-service grant for View
Finders is helping train those educators in

14
00:01:03.610 --> 00:01:05.470
VTS and how to use it with students.

15
00:01:05.470 --> 00:01:12.740
And we think that this is a primary way that
the arts and facilitate those critical thinking

16
00:01:12.740 --> 00:01:19.930
skills as used by students not only with the
arts, but in all of their schooling and as

17
00:01:19.930 --> 00:01:20.750
they transition into the professional workforce.
