SUMMARY:COMPREHENSIVE ARTS PLANNING PROGRAM (CAPP) - APPLICATION INFORMATIONAL SESSION
DESCRIPTION:Perpich Center for Arts Education is hosting four informational sessions to provide information and answer questions about the upcoming 2027-2029 Comprehensive Arts Planning Program (CAPP) application round. These sessions will provide a general outline of the program and application process as well as leave ample time for participant questions and answers. \nThe Minnesota Comprehensive Arts Planning Program (CAPP) is a program of Perpich Center for Arts Education. The purpose of this legislatively-funded program is to support and assist a local school district or charter school’s arts planning team in creating a district-wide\, three-year strategic arts plan. This plan addresses arts education policies\, programs and partnerships for students in the district and community. \nREGISTER HERE FOR THE INFORMATIONAL SESSION \nLOCATION: Virtual – The link to join each session will be sent to participants via email the day before the meeting. \nDuring the 2027-2029 program\, there will be two cohorts\, a SCHOOL DISTRICT COHORT and a CHARTER SCHOOL COHORT. \nIf you are applying for the SCHOOL DISTRICT COHORT\, the 2027-2029 CAPP application must concentrate on a single arts area (dance\, music\, theater\, or visual arts/media arts) and must address programming in that arts area for grades Kindergarten-12. A school district may complete a second application for a second arts area in the CAPP program. \nIf you are applying for the CHARTER SCHOOL COHORT\, the 2027-2029 CAPP application must include all arts areas offered at your school across all grade levels. This program is a school-wide initiative Kindergarten through 12th grade. (If your charter school serves K-8\, K-5\, 6-12\, or 9-12 students\, it is eligible as well.) \nPlease note: Due to the regulations of the CAPP application process\, questions about the application cannot be answered after the official application opens on Monday\, December 14\, 2026. \nAfter Monday\, December 14\, 2026\, questions will be answered through the Frequently Asked Questions system. Therefore we highly encourage school districts or charter schools to attend one of these sessions if they are interested in applying. \nQuestions or comments?

SUMMARY:2026-2027 MEDIA ARTS INTRODUCTION COHORT
DESCRIPTION:Build a foundation in teaching media arts. Register for Perpich’s Media Arts Introduction Cohort!  \nAbout the Cohort\nThe Media Arts Introduction Cohort is a year-long\, hands-on\, idea-rich professional learning community designed to equip teachers with the foundational skills\, tools\, and curriculum structures needed to teach media arts with confidence and clarity. Whether you are a visual arts teacher ready to branch into digital forms\, a tech-savvy educator seeking more creative applications\, or entirely new to media arts—this cohort meets you where you are. \nThis cohort explores the concepts\, creative processes\, artistic thinking\, media literacy\, curriculum design\, and assessment practices that support meaningful media arts education. Teachers will move beyond technology-driven projects to consider the learning behind the making: What should students understand? What artistic decisions should they make? How can media become a vehicle for creative thinking\, communication\, and expression? \nParticipants will build conceptual and technical fluency across digital photography\, video\, animation\, and graphic design. The work is grounded in concept-based curriculum and instruction (CBCI)\, inquiry-based practices\, and creative production cycles that help students develop voice\, critical thinking\, and artistic literacy. Over the course of the year\, participants will design\, revise\, or refine classroom-ready units aligned to the National Core Arts Standards (NCAS) or local standards\, while engaging with peer critique protocols\, artist case studies\, and adaptable project structures. \nThis is not a “sit and get” PD — it’s active\, collaborative\, and immediately relevant to classroom practice. \nREGISTRATION FORM \nThis Cohort is Ideal For:\nEducators who are new to media arts or ready to strengthen their curricular and pedagogical foundation. What does it mean to teach media arts as an artistic discipline\, rather than simply teach students how to use technology?

SUMMARY:2026-2027 ELEMENTARY VISUAL ARTS COHORT
DESCRIPTION:Build a foundation in teaching elementary art. Sign up for Perpich’s Elementary Visual Arts Cohort! \nThis cohort is for new elementary art teachers\, Tier 1 and Tier 2 teachers without formal art pedagogy preparation\, and classroom generalists who teach visual arts. \nAbout the Cohort\nThe Elementary Visual Arts Cohort is a professional development experience where\, over the course of the year\, participants will engage in collaborative learning with other educators committed to advancing artistic thinking and creative literacy in elementary learners. Teaching elementary art is more than finding engaging projects. This cohort helps educators develop a stronger foundation in elementary art pedagogy\, curriculum design\, artistic literacy\, instruction\, and assessment. Participants will explore how concepts\, standards\, skills\, creative processes\, and assessment can work together to create meaningful and developmentally appropriate art learning. \nAcross three sessions\, teachers will examine their existing practice\, develop and refine curriculum\, and collaborate with colleagues while building practical strategies they can use immediately in the elementary art room. Participants will engage with a cycle of learning that centers on big ideas\, artistic inquiry\, studio experimentation\, and reflection. The work is grounded in frameworks such as the Minnesota Academic Standards in the Arts\, the Studio Habits of Mind\, and concept-based curriculum and instruction. Teachers will walk away with usable\, classroom-ready curriculum units\, strategies for formative and summative assessment\, and a renewed understanding of how artistic thinking supports deep learning across content areas. \nREGISTRATION FORM \nCohort Members Can Expect: \n\nHands-on media experiences across 2D\, 3D\, digital\, and mixed media\nCurriculum development support: Create\, revise\, or refine a concept-based unit aligned to MN Academic Standards in the Arts\nProfessional dialogue with fellow educators through peer feedback and collaboration protocols\nResources and exemplars to take directly into your classroom practice\nPersonalized feedback and coaching as you implement new strategies and approaches\n\nThis Cohort is Ideal For: \n\nK–5 visual arts specialists\nClassroom teachers integrating visual arts\nArts Integration Coordinators\nEarly-career\, Tier 1\, and Tier 2 teachers seeking a foundation for strong curriculum and assessment design\n\nRequirements to Join the Cohort: \n\nA teacher (or desire to teach) of visual arts within the generalist’s classroom or new to the visual arts classroom at the elementary level\nAbility and commitment to attend all three in-person sessions at Perpich Center for Arts Education in Golden Valley\nAbility to collaborate and engage in hands-on visual arts experiences\n\nCohort Meeting Dates (three all day workshops):\nThe Elementary Visual Arts Cohort will meet in person at Perpich Center for Arts Education three times throughout the 2026-2027 academic year.

The purpose of this legislatively-funded program is to support and assist a local school district or charter school’s arts planning team in creating a district-wide\, three-year strategic arts plan. This plan addresses arts education policies\, programs and partnerships for students in the district and community. \nREGISTER HERE FOR THE INFORMATIONAL SESSION \nLOCATION: Virtual – The link to join each session will be sent to participants via email the day before the meeting. \nDuring the 2027-2029 program\, there will be two cohorts\, a SCHOOL DISTRICT COHORT and a CHARTER SCHOOL COHORT. \nIf you are applying for the SCHOOL DISTRICT COHORT\, the 2027-2029 CAPP application must concentrate on a single arts area (dance\, music\, theater\, or visual arts/media arts) and must address programming in that arts area for grades Kindergarten-12. A school district may complete a second application for a second arts area in the CAPP program. \nIf you are applying for the CHARTER SCHOOL COHORT\, the 2027-2029 CAPP application must include all arts areas offered at your school across all grade levels. This program is a school-wide initiative Kindergarten through 12th grade. (If your charter school serves K-8\, K-5\, 6-12\, or 9-12 students\, it is eligible as well.) \nPlease note: Due to the regulations of the CAPP application process\, questions about the application cannot be answered after the official application opens on Monday\, December 14\, 2026. \nAfter Monday\, December 14\, 2026\, questions will be answered through the Frequently Asked Questions system. Therefore we highly encourage school districts or charter schools to attend one of these sessions if they are interested in applying. \nQuestions or comments?

DESCRIPTION:Deepen and refine your media arts practice. Register for Perpich’s Media Arts Advanced Cohort! \n*This cohort is for educators who have completed Perpich’s Media Arts Intro Cohort and are ready to take their practice further.* \nAbout the Cohort\nThe Media Arts Advanced Cohort is for educators who have completed Perpich’s Media Arts Introduction Cohort and are ready to push their creative\, technical\, and pedagogical boundaries. Similar to the Intro Cohort\, this is a year-long professional learning community where participants operate as artists\, critics\, and curriculum designers—expanding their media fluency while developing the intellectual rigor to mentor students in creating media that matters. \nThe Advanced Cohort moves beyond the foundations of media arts education and into deeper questions of curriculum\, pedagogy\, conceptual thinking\, creative agency\, and assessment. \nHow do we design more conceptually rich media arts learning? How do we move students from following directions toward making meaningful creative decisions? How do we assess artistic thinking and conceptual understanding? \nParticipants refine existing curriculum\, analyze student work and practice\, explore more sophisticated approaches to concept-based instruction and assessment\, and collaborate with experienced colleagues. \nThis is a space to experiment\, problem-solve\, and engage in meaningful dialogue with colleagues who are equally committed to evolving their media arts practice. \nREGISTRATION FORM \nCohort Members Can Expect: \n\nHands-on media experiences across 2D\, 3D\, digital\, and mixed media\nAdvanced production techniques in video\, photography\, animation\, and multimedia\nExploration of cinematic\, design\, and visual culture principles\nEthical and identity-centered approaches to media creation\nRefined critique protocols and responsive feedback structures\nDevelopment of advanced\, concept-based curriculum aligned to the Minnesota K-12 Academic Standards in Media Arts\nA professional network for sharing\, revising\, and field-testing lessons and units\nResources and exemplars to take directly into your classroom practice\nPersonalized feedback and coaching as you implement new strategies and approaches\n\nExpectations for Joining the Cohort: \n\nEducators must have completed Perpich’s Media Arts Intro Cohort (or received prior approval* see below)\nEducators who are teaching or seeking to teach media arts in an integrated or standalone course offering this year\nAbility and commitment to attend all three in-person sessions at Perpich Center for Arts Education in Golden Valley\nAbility to collaborate and engage in hands-on media arts experiences\nVisual arts educators ready to integrate advanced media concepts into their teaching\n\nCohort Meeting Dates (three all-day workshops):\nThe Media Arts Advanced Cohort will meet in person at Perpich Center for Arts Education three times throughout the 2026-2027 academic year.
