WORK DAYS FOR ARTS INTEGRATION TEAMS

REGISTER HERE

Thursday, August 14, 2025 (9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.)

DESCRIPTION:
We’ve heard from several teachers across Minnesota that they are ready to develop or refine lessons through an arts integration lens but could use a bit of experienced support. Might this include teachers from your school district?

This summer we have two opportunities for workshopping your arts integration ideas—Thursday, June 12 and Thursday, August 14. 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).

LOCATION:
Perpich Center for Arts Education – Gaia Building
6125 Olson Memorial Highway
Golden Valley, MN 55422

Once you arrive to campus, follow the road around to the left and past the soccer field. The Gaia Building is the 2-story white building back by the woods. Enter through the doors at the top of the parking lot.

DETAILS:

• There is no cost to participate in these work days.

• Each person must complete the registration and with that, participants are strongly encouraged to attend as a team: arts educator + non-arts/classroom educator(s).
