Teacher Programs

We believe that creative classrooms give students unique tools to develop their identities, deepen their understanding of core subjects, and become active members of their communities. Join us online or in person throughout the school year for hands-on workshops for Pre-K through Grade 12 educators. Integrate primary sources, the arts, and social-emotional learning into your core content and ignite creativity and a love of learning in students of all ages.  

All professional development workshops are aligned with California Common Core State Standards and California Arts Standards.  Participating teachers seeking professional development hours receive letters of completion
