Description:
This course guides learners through a quality televised workshop from the Annenberg Foundation, with an online reflective component concerning educational issues. In this particular workshop, leaders from the Southeast Center for Education in the Arts work with “Learner Teams” made up of educators from elementary schools in Arlington, Virginia; White Plains, New York; and Memphis, Tennessee. Each Learner Team includes the school’s principal, an arts specialist teacher, and two classroom teachers. You also will see examples of elementary school students working with the same material as the Learner Teams. In the last two programs, the Learner Teams apply what they learned to their own classrooms.
