LA County 2004 Arts Education Professional Development Program

FOR ARTISTS
An Opportunity for Artists to Strengthen their Arts Education Programs

The LA County Arts Commission invites teaching artists in all disciplines (music, theatre, dance, and the visual arts) to participate in a hands-on, interactive professional development program to develop practical tools and techniques to be more effective in a K-12 classroom setting.

Produced by the Music Center Education Division, this nationally-recognized course is being made available for the second time to artists throughout LA County. This level of professional development, led by Melinda Williams and Susan Cambigue Tracey, was previously only available to artists affiliated with the Music Center Education Division (MCED).

A key stratgey for the Arts Commission identified in the Regional Blueprint is the creation of proffessional development opportunities for both Individual Artists and Arts Organizations Adminsitrators.

The training program additionally supports the Commission's development of an on-line resource directory, a strategy in the Blueprint, which will provide centralized access to approved, content-based arts education programs. Learn more
