The MAAE is hosting a series of teaching artist workshops during 2007 and 2008. The "Artist as Teacher" workshops are held in partnership with the Mississippi Arts Commission, the Whole Schools Initiative, and other statewide arts organizations. The workshops are offered through a generous grant from the DANA Foundation. Check application dates and deadlines here.

The U.S. Department of Education will host its annual summer regional workshops series for teachers to learn best practices from fellow educators who have had success in raising student achievement. The 2008 Summer Schedule will be announced in the spring. For further information, click here.

This week of professional development is open to anyone interested in learning in, through and about the arts as well as how to integrate the arts into the total curriculum!

Critical Links: Professional Development Resource

The Arts Education Partnership and the Perpich Center for the Performing Arts, Minneapolis, have created a web-based professional development resource. Critical Links: A Professional Inquiry Process helps teachers and administrators to apply research to daily classroom practice through a seven step process of structured activities that helps teachers develop their own research expertise to improve instructional practices. Also on the website are video interviews with teachers who have used the inquiry process and lessons learned.
