Professional Development for Arts Organization
“Teachers and students have much to cover each day within State, District, and School standards. Anything that can help a teacher enrich the curriculum while keeping up with timelines is very useful.”
“Regrettably, time does not allow us to bring in additional teacher curriculum, no matter how worthy we regard the experience.”
Professional Development for Principals and Teachers
“We are double dosing our students in both math and English every day. I see first through fifth graders in tears and wanting to quit school. We have lost the heart and fun. Only the most skilled teachers know how to do both.”
Professional Development Class for Teacher: Integrating Performance Art and the CCSS.As a part of a Professional Learning Community of school leaders for the inclusion of arts in the curriculum, teachers will: • Familiarity with the CCSS, P21st Century Skill, OR Arts
Standards and NAfME Standards; • Learn the cognitive, social and emotional benefits of the arts;• Integrate the standards around big ideas • Attend one live music and theatre event • Design standard based curricular units that connect live
performing arts to the curriculum. • Learn how to make a case to school leaders for the inclusion
of arts in the curriculum documenting connections to the various standards.
