WHAT: A sequence of two facilitated dialogues to explore the question: Can we as teaching artists and museum educators push our thinking in ways that advance our practice?

WHEN: Friday June 4th, 2010,  10:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m.
    Friday June 18th, 2010, 10:00 a.m.-1:30 p.m.
    Both workshop days will include lunch.

DESCRIPTION: Together we will explore cutting edge principles and practices in the evolving field of arts-in-education as they impact our work as teaching artists. In this process we will:

  • articulate what is essential for students to know, understand, and be able to do in our art forms
  • analyze how the elements and processes of our art forms relate to other areas of instruction
  • learn how to implement methodologies such as Action Research and Understanding by Design
  • examine the role of assessment in the teaching/learning process
