ATImpact, a blog documenting the arts immersion and arts integration best practices of teachers inspired by attending the Artist/Teacher Institute (aTi), is a featured workshop at two leading arts conferences in 2010. Both workshops discuss how ATImpact, in its pilot year funded by the Dodge Foundation, was created, developed, and implemented using ethnographic action research to fully involve teachers.

Jenifer Simon, Director of NJ Programs, Partnerships and the Artist/Teacher Institute and John Kaiser, artist, arts educator and ATImpact facilitator, will present "How Arts Educators Can Play a Role in Evaluating and Advocating their Practice Using Action Research in the Digital Age".
The annual Face to Face Conference is the leading arts-in-education conference in the New York City area. Attendees enjoy one-and-a-half days of panel discussions, workshops, hands-on activities, and networking with colleagues working in the field of arts education.
