Summer Arts Studio for Educators
In the Summer Arts Studio for Educators, teachers actively participate in creating, performing, reflecting on, and assessing their own work and teaching practice. Teams of educators work side-by-side with Music Center master teaching artists as reflective learners and collaborative partners. Through this process, educators gain hands-on, creative tools for arts integration, renewed ownership, and firm commitment to transform their classrooms through the arts.
The three training sessions offered are: Arts Integration Symposium, Arts Integration Retreat and Arts Integration Camp.
