Professional Development for Educators

Our professional development comes in several formats, including training workshops for PK–8 educators, "big picture" sessions that introduce arts-integrated approaches to teaching and learning, and "spotlight" workshops that offer classroom-ready teaching strategies.

Virtual "Big Picture" Arts Learning Session

COMING SOON! Are you wondering how the arts could enrich teaching and learning across your school? Our big picture overview is a virtual 60-minute session for school administrators and district arts education leaders. It serves as a gateway to arts learning through a grounding in the academic, social, and emotional benefits of North Carolina's Comprehensive Arts Education framework of arts exposure, arts education, and arts integration.

On-site "Spotlight" Arts Learning Workshops

COMING SOON! Expanding your teacher toolbox with the arts keeps teaching and learning exciting for students and teachers. Our spotlight workshops are on-site 90-minute sessions that provide a deep dive into a specific arts learning topic, strategy, activity, or resource, and offer supported planning time to explore how it could be adapted or applied in your learning space.
