The focus
of this conference is on making the arts simply a lovely way to "live"
at school. We will be experiencing the energy, focus, and excitement they
bring to learning, and to just plain old life in general. We will see
how they help us to celebrate, explore, remember, honor, create, become,
serve, communicate, care, and understand.
We recommend that schools send teams with one person responsible for covering
each artform exclusively. District Arts Coordinators are encouraged to
send teams from their district who can return and provide training locally.
This year, the following new items have been added:
- Advanced
Training
(Endorsement Track) in the four artforms will be held at the Marriott
Hotel. This training is designed for patrons who have previously attended
the conference and have substantial knowledge and skills in the artform,
or for those teachers who are currently working on an endorsement.
- Intermediate
Level
These In-Depth Core Sessions addressing a specific concept/skill and
its development from kindergarten through the 6 th grade. Each session
is 2 ½ hours in length.
- Introductory
Training
These sessions provide an overview of the artform and strategies for
classroom instruction. These sessions take 70 minutes and will repeat.
