2021 Summer Arts Integration Professional Development

Teachers!  The school year is finally over and we hope you’re just as excited for the summer as we are! As you make your summer plans, don’t forget to add Arts Every Day’s Summer Arts Integration Institute to your calendars.  This year’s events will take place the week of August 16 through August 20.  Surround yourself with creativity, gain new techniques to incorporate into your classroom, and leave inspired as we bring you a carefully curated collection of talented teaching artists and arts organizations.

Attendees will enjoy a variety of live-streamed and asynchronous sessions with something of interest for everyone, ranging from art-making studio sessions, information-rich video courses, meditations, keynotes, virtual field trips, and more!

Participants are eligible for up to 2 AUs, with a tiered system of requirements.

Arts Every Day Partner Schools are required to send at least one representative.  But there are no limits this year on how many representatives we can accommodate, so please share this notice widely!

We look forward to welcoming educators to another fun and inspiring conference that will hopefully restore your spirits, kick-start your creativity, and get you excited for the new school year!
