The Montana Arts Council and the Office of Public Instruction have teamed up to offer Montana Teacher Leaders in the Arts, a professional
development initiative for K-12 educators across the state. Through this
exciting new program, MAC and OPI seek to develop teacher leaders who can
support other teachers statewide in integrating the arts into their classrooms.
The Initiative will include a 2015 on-site summer institute
in arts learning, online professional learning opportunities throughout the
15-16 school year, and support for a field project in the teacher leader’s
school or region. Topics will include arts integration strategies, brain
theory, building creative classrooms, STEAM learning and cultural arts.
K-12 arts specialists, classroom teachers with an arts background,
administrators, retired teachers and professional teaching artists with
significant K-12 experience are invited to apply in the Year One cohort.
More information about the program, and instructions to apply can
be found by clicking here. Direct all
questions to Emily Kohring, Director of Arts Education, Montana Arts Council,
(406) 444-6522 or ekohring@mt.gov.
The deadline to apply is February 16, 2015.
