These days will begin with an introduction to our arts integration continuum and examples of integrated lessons\, but then the majority of each day will be supported work time. Bring your ideas\, teaching resources\, and one or more colleagues to Perpich Center for either or both days. Here’s a great opportunity to get a head start on lesson planning for the new school year! Participants are strongly encouraged to attend as a team: arts educator + non-arts/classroom educator(s). \nLOCATION:\nPerpich Center for Arts Education – Gaia Building\n6125 Olson Memorial Highway\nGolden Valley\, MN 55422 \nOnce you arrive to campus\, follow the road around to the left and past the soccer field.

Enter through the doors at the top of the parking lot. \nDETAILS: \n\nThere is no cost to participate in these work days.\nLunch is provided.\nEach person must complete the registration and with that\, participants are strongly encouraged to attend as a team: arts educator + non-arts/classroom educator(s).\nA clock hours form for 6 hours will be provided following each day.\nThe facilitator for these work days is Wendy Barden\, Director of the Professional Development and Resource Programs at Perpich Center.
