Iowa is home to communities that are as  opposite as rural and urban, or majority minority and homogeneous. How do you respond to your specific community characteristics and student needs in your corner of the state of Iowa? Whether your district is consolidated or inner city, public or charter, you can connect with other educators who share the same challenges and experiences throughout the state. What do you have to offer to teachers in very different districts to yours?

Stayed tuned to see sessions from rural Iowa art teachers, art teaches in special education settings, art programs serving a highly diverse population, as well as hands on learning from Iowa's teaching artists.
