Management Strategies for Middle
and High School Arts Education
Amy Poux
Executive Director, High Meadow
Arts, Inc. |
This workshop will
combine backwards planning and curriculum
development to give practitioners strategies
for building buy-in from pre-teens
and teens in arts education programs.
Practitioners,
education leaders and organizational
leaders will go through a process of
using a curriculum development map that
helps teaching artists to plan strategies
for student engagement, assessment, arts
integration and presentations all at
the same time! A great tool for teaching
artists to use for program planning and
also for leaders to use when working
with teaching artists/classroom teacher
teams. This is a completely participatory
workshop.
