To create an opportunity for CCSD K-12 Visual Arts teachers, leaders and community to educate, collaborate, develop and participate in valid instructional and meaningful workshops that specifically tailor to Visual Arts pedagogy, needs and target, professional, student and personal growth.

In targeting specific subject area instructional classes, we empower all K-12 teachers with valid appropriations for the classroom. This in turn allows them to keep up with the current technological trends, find better ways to serve their unique populations of students and community, and continue to develop their material expertise. In addition, we are creating professional and leadership opportunities for colleagues to learn from each other as well as experts in the field.
Participants seeking 1 credit will need to attend 5 workshop sessions. |
