Colorado Art Ed Coalition

Hello arts teachers! Think 360 Arts is doing the Institute for Creative Teaching this October, at DU. More information if you are interested:

Institute for Creative Teaching registration is open!

The Institute is an in-depth, three-day institute, in collaboration with the University of Denver’s Morgridge School of Education, offering the theory and practice of arts integration.

On October 23, 24, and 30th, educators, artists, and administrators will: reignite their passion for teaching and learning; discover ways to integrate creativity, social-emotional learning, and joy into the curriculum; participate in hands-on workshops with professional artists to awaken the artist within; and receive 20+ contact hours toward CDE license renewal.

Denver Public Schools scholarships and outside Denver/rural scholarships are available!

Register today! https://think360arts.org/what-we-do/professional-development/

Thanks for all you do to ! Tag an art, theater, music, dance or media arts teacher to show your appreciation.

Social emotional learning helps students to learn what we consider common sense, but if we are not teaching these things it is hard to expect students to know these things.

What is social emotional learning and how can we be using it to help our kids?

Thanks for sharing your story from Early College High School At Arvada!

Here's a picture from one of our final days shooting our spring musical as a movie this year. Arts education is life education. We say at our school Encore skills are life skills. What we do in theater, music and now film, is learn about people, empathy, communication, and particularly this year - the healing power of story telling.
