Hey friends-
I am laying the foundation for Arts Express for next summer June 14,15 and possibly 16th. Participant reviews from this summer asked for more time and the chance to choose more breakout sessions. Deb Bjorska from the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts will be the Keynote speaker. I would appreciate any input you have. How could this arts conference best serve the teachers in your district?
I enjoyed attending the conference this year. However, I agree that there need to be more opportunities for breakout sessions. The first day with the keynote speaker was interesting, but could have been broken up so that there was workshop time as well. Most of the teachers that I know of that attend these workshops and conferences do so to get and share new ideas.
ReplyDeleteI would recommend that future breakout sessions include more topics on effective and robust arts integration like ways to meld dance with science, music with math, and language arts with visual art, etc.
