 
2007 Summer
Institute
August 7 – 9, 2007 in Orlando, Florida
Special opportunities for artists and arts organizations.
The ARTS (music, drama, dance and visual arts) are powerful
tools for teaching and learning in schools and communities.
This Institute will give artists the inspiration, knowledge
and skill to provide students in schools and in community settings
with a complete education .
This professional development opportunity, open to anyone interested
in learning in, through and about the
arts, provides an unusual opportunity for artists and community
arts organizations to explore arts integration in a team setting
with school administrators, arts and classroom/subject area
teachers.
In addition to sessions in which artists will learn along
with educators, a special session for artists will be offered
on Wed., Aug. 8. Artists are invited to share their artist-in-the-schools
programs and to network with participating schools at an Artists'
Showcase on Wednesday afternoon. Individual planning for arts
integration as well as review of your current artist-in-the-schools
materials will be offered.
There will be a special session for artists:
- To build understanding and skill in sharing your art form
with school groups as an “artist-in-the-schools”
- The “language” of the school
- Standards-based learning Through the ARTS
- Making connections with schools
- Individual reviews/critiques of your “artist-in-the-schools” materials
will be provided upon request (optional)
Artists’ Showcase: Artists will exhibit
their school-based programs and network with school groups
to connect community resources to school interests and needs
- To link schools and communities
Planningfor arts integration:
Sessions will be offered to artists and arts organizations planning
for arts integration; facilitators will work directly with
you in the planning process.
- To develop a strategic plan for you to integrate the arts
in your work.
- Participants will be paired with a facilitator who will
assist them in planning for cross-curricular arts integration
and for school/community change
The Team of experts who will work directly with artists will
be led by
Kay Logan.
