About the event

What can a DeltaARTS teaching artist residency do for teachers and students?

Teachers often say, "I don’t have time for anything ”, yet, a teaching artist can help you by designing a residency of three or more visits that will heighten students’ grasp of a subject by challenging them to think outside of the box.extra

Teaching Artists create the teachable moments for you and your students by engaging you and your students using arts integration focused on your needs.

This workshop will be very hands on with minimal power points, mostly activities, but lots of breaks. This is not a lecture we want to encourage fun and creativity and learning through action.

The morning session, 9:00am to noon, is open to all grade levels and stakeholders to identify what a Teaching Artist is and what they do.

Lunch will be provided from noon to 1:00 pm
