Professional Development Overview


Arts Horizons, a leader in educational improvement in the arts, believes that every person benefits from life-long learning. Our motivating Professional Development workshops help teachers develop new ways to stimulate learning in the arts and make connections between the various art forms and other curriculum areas. They provide a framework for educators to engage in teaching and learning activities that support the needs of their students while implementing the State Learning/Core Curriculum Content Standards.


Arts Horizons will work with you to develop professional development programs that address the needs and specific challenges of your school/organization.
