CALL FOR PARTICIPANT SCHOOL DISTRICTS
Arts-Based Creative Teaching Strategies 
Professional Development for Special Education Teachers

​The Kennedy Center Office of VSA and Accessibility is seeking school districts from around the country to participate in a unique and new professional development program to train all special education teachers from a school district in Arts-Based Creative Teaching Strategies under the direction of MINDPOP from Austin, Texas.

Creative Teaching is an arts-based instructional approach to education. Teachers will learn instructional strategies—instructional frameworks—that can be used across grade level, curricula, and lesson cycle throughout the school year. These strategies ultimately give opportunities for students with disabilities to interact with their curricula through four arts disciplines. The goal for each strategy is to deepen critical and creative thinking, as evidence by the research-basis behind each strategy. District will receive $10,000 over two years to defray participation costs.

DEADLINE TO APPLY: MARCH 20th, 2019
