For individual educators, we offer cohort-based programs like Leadership Academy and gatherings like our Regional Arts Ed Day conference. For school districts, we offer a holistic Arts Ed 360° program, standards-based curriculum writing, and student assessment workshops. For arts orgs, we can consult with you to evaluate and improve programs. We can also create customized learning experiences that connect you with new ideas, partners, and resources.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we’re happy to share outside resources and to help anchor the Creative Learning Network, which creates opportunities for teaching artists and learners alike to experience rewarding virtual arts ed.
