CoTA’s three- to five-day Teacher Institutes provide educators an opportunity to experience arts-integrated learning first hand.
Teachers participate in a variety of sessions during which CoTA teaching artists model arts-based strategies that engage students in learning, sharpen critical thinking skills, and nurture varied modes of intelligence. Teachers discuss and reflect on how the visual and performing arts can be used to support specific learning goals for their students. Participants who incorporate arts-integrated instruction in their classrooms post-Institute will have access to educational resources and online mentoring from CoTA artist-educators and staff as well as an online platform to share their projects and lessons with other educators.
