Each summer the ArtsPowered Schools Institute offers a residential professional opportunity designed to immerse educators in strategies for teaching and learning through the arts. The ArtsPowered Schools Summer Institute presented by the Idaho Commission on the Arts in partnership with the Idaho State Department of Education annually assists teachers in gaining skills to be able to use the arts in their classrooms as ways to engage learners, meet the needs of a variety of students, increase literacy, and promote creativity and critical thinking.

The workshop series is intense and engaging. Presenters of national caliber, including many from Idaho's cultural organizations, lead educators to envision and learn to use the arts as invaluable components of teaching young people.

The focus during the week includes not only activities in the arts, but their integration into the classroom via integrated curricula and lessons, authentic performance-based assessments, and partnerships with local artists and cultural organizations. Teachers who complete the Institute leave with a finished series of lesson plans that they can implement in their own classrooms. al organizations.
