Arts in Education Concentration Information

The Arts in Education program is designed to help participants affirm the indispensable role the arts (visual and performing) have in schools and society. Classroom teachers, art teachers, artists, administrators, and other educators join together to explore how to engage students of all ages learning with and through the arts.  In supportive environments students immerse in the creative process; reflect on cultural and aesthetic sensibilities; work individually and collaboratively to develop and practice innovative and interdisciplinary teaching; and participate in and apply statewide initiatives. We seek educators who are willing to expand creative boundaries and discover the role arts play in developing expressive and critical voice. Partnership with the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts and other community resources have enriched the Arts in Education program.  A maximum of eighteen credits of the coursework towards teacher licensure may be applied to the requirements for the M.Ed. degree.
