Our Artist-Educator Institute is a professional development program for emerging mid-career and experienced teaching artists.
The Institute is designed to build the capacity of visual and performing artists to collaborate with public school teachers and transform schools through meaningful arts-based learning experiences.
The Artist-Educator Institute involves a 3-phase program including:
- Coursework that explores the role of art in the classroom and teaches how to align art lessons with academic standards.
- Active Observations of mentor artists in the classroom to identify lesson design, implementation, and assessment.
- Mentoring/Coaching support for refining lesson plans, developing assessments, and managing classroom activities.
