Dear Educators and Friends,
When the arts are well taught, they transform students and their schools. When teachers are well prepared in arts learning, they gain the capacity to make such transformative experiences possible for the students in their classrooms.
Over the last seven years elementary teachers throughout Idaho have gathered to dedicate a week of their summer to an exploration of arts learning. The ArtsPowered Schools Institute provides strategies and tools for teaching in and through the arts. As a community of learners at ArtsPowered Schools, we all work together to better understand the qualities and characteristics needed to create outstanding arts teaching and learning experiences for Idaho students. It’s good for us! And it’s good for students!
ArtsPowered Schools presenters, directors, and educators have worked collaboratively to capture the foundational elements that form the base for quality arts teaching and learning. Originally conceived solely as a guide to the Institute, now with the support from the Idaho Department of Education, ArtsPowered Learning: An Idaho Arts Education Framework is being distributed to elementary classrooms statewide.
Copies of ArtsPowered Learning: An Idaho Arts Education Framework are available
by contacting the Idaho Commission on the Arts, 208-334-2119, 1-800-artfund,
or download Framework as pdf file.
The arts have the power to stimulate the interest of all who come in contact with them – including every student in your classroom. Please accept this downloadable copy of ArtsPowered Learning: An Idaho Arts Education Framework as a resource to spark creativity, exploration, and new learning possibilities in your classroom.
Sincerely,
Ruth Piispanen
