CCA Art in Education Teaching Institute
March 5, 2007
The California College of the Arts Center for Art and Public Life and Office of Special Programs in collaboration with the Alameda County Office of Education is pleased to offer the Art in Education Teaching Institute:
The Art in Education (AIE) Teaching Institute is California College of the Arts' new year-round professional development program for Bay Area K–12 educators and teaching artists. The institute provides opportunities to build the knowledge and skills needed to teach and integrate the arts in an engaging, meaningful manner.
The institute was developed by the college's Center for Art and Public Life in collaboration with the Alameda County Office of Education to advance our region's capacity to offer high-quality arts learning experiences to all children. Classes offered draw primarily from visual art practice; however, educators and artists from all disciplines are welcome.
In this supportive, experimental workshop, students are introduced to basic art ideas, materials, and techniques. By examining contemporary art practices, participants expand their ideas of what art can be and discover that everyone can engage in art making. Experience the power of art to develop and present ideas, emotions, and understanding.
Art in Education(AIE) Teaching Institute features:
- A revitalizing and rigorous approach, where contemporary art and progressive education meet. Participants will learn to engage all students through dynamic culturally and socially relevant curricula, utilizing an inquiry-based approach to achieve the highest academic standards
- NEW Arts Learning Specialist Certification and Continuing Education Units offered through the Alameda County Office of Education
- Outstanding instructors with expertise in art and K-12 teacher education
- Affordable and convenient summer, evening and weekend classes
- Relevant content with hands-on learning for K-12 educators and teaching artists who want to deepen their knowledge, skills and practice in art and art-integrated education
- A collegial environment for K-12 education administrators, teachers and art education professionals to expand knowledge and skills within a dynamic, interdisciplinary teaching and learning community
