The goal of the CAGS Arts Concentration is for classroom teachers, art teachers, all educators, artists, administrators, and others to collaboratively explore how to teach and inspire students of all ages learning with and through the arts. In supportive environments, students engage in the creative process, reflect on cultural and aesthetic perspectives, work individually and collaboratively to develop and practice innovative and interdisciplinary pedagogies, and address equity and sustainability through an arts lens. This program is designed to expand creative boundaries and examine the role of the arts in developing expressive and critical voice in the classroom.
