TEACHER WORKSHOPS
These arts-in-education programs, held in the fall and early spring, are open to all teachers and administrators. They are designed with insightful and innovative teaching techniques to be personally enriching as well as supportive and inspirational for classroom instruction.
"These workshops help us as teachers to get back in touch with what is really important in the work we do with children".
